Material & methods: Data from all consecutive patients operated at our department in an elective or in an urgent setting over a 4-month period were prospectively collected and analysed. The updated Centres for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines were used to define and to score SSIs during weekly meetings. Multivariate analysis was performed considering a list of 20 potential perioperative risk factors. Results: A total of 287 patients (mean age 56.9???16.8 years, 51.2% male) were included. Thirty-five patients (12.2%) developed SSI. Independent risk factors for SSI were BMI <20?kg/m(2) (OR 3.70; p?=?.022), cancer (OR 0.33; p?=?.046), respiratory comorbidity (OR 3.15; p?=?.035), presence of a preoperative stoma (OR 3.74; p?=?.003), and operative time ?3?hours (OR 2.93; p?=?.014). Conclusion: Identified incidence and risk factors for the development of SSI after colorectal surgery were consistent with those already reported in the literature. The possibility to develop a validated prediction model for SSIs warrants further investigation, in order to target specific preventive measures on high-risk population. | Notes: | [Bislenghi, Gabriele; Vanhaverbeke, Annelies; van Overstraeten, Anthony de Buck; D'Hoore, Andre; Wolthuis, Albert M.] Univ Hosp Leuven, Dept Abdominal Surg, Herestr 49, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.
