Abstract

Objective: Various surveillance methods have been described for surveillance of surgical site infections (SSI). The aim of this study was to examine practicality of SSI risk assessment methods (SENIC and NNIS) with a postoperative wound monitoring scale (ASEPSIS) as an outcome assessment measure and evaluation of the contribution of wound assesment to the reduction of wound infection. Material and Methods: Patients were followed with a prospective data chart through four year. Correlation of SENIC and NNIS together with ASEPSIS were performed. Results: During the study period, 275 SSI occurred. SSIs were determined within the 21 days-period after operations. Correlation between SENIC with ASEPSIS (rs= 0.41, p< 0.001) was found better than that for NNIS with ASEPSIS (rs= 0.37, p< 0.001). Type of operation (emergency vs. elective), body mass index, operation class and American Society of Anesthesiologists scores were found independently predictive factors for SSI. The forth year SSI rate was found to be significantly lower than the other years (p< 0.001). Conclusion: This study indicates weak but significant correlation between preoperative risk assessment methods for SSI and ASEPSIS method. In addi- tion, surgical wound assesment and awarness of the wound infection rates, have decreased the SSI rates over the years.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Yara yeri enfeksiyonlar’ı için birçok takip metodu tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı cerrahi alan enfeksiyonların’da (CAE) risk belirleme metotları olan SENIC ve NNIS ile postoperatif yara takip skalası olan ASEPSIS’in karşılıklı olarak değerlendirmesi ve yara takibinin yara yeri enfeksiyonun azalmasına katkısının değerlendirilmesi Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde dört yıl boyunca ameliyat olan hastalar prospektif olarak izlendi. SENIC, NNIS, ve ASEPSIS metotlarına göre kayıtlar tutuldu. Bulgular: Çalışma süresince 275 CAE oluştu. CAE operasyondan sonraki 21 günlük süre içinde belirlendi. SENIC ve ASEPSIS arasındaki ilişki (rs=0,41, p< 0,001); NNIS ile ASEPSIS arasındaki ilişkiden (rs= 0,37; p< 0,0001) daha uyumlu bulundu. Operasyon tipi (acil ve elektif ), vücut-kitle indeksi (BMI), operasyon sınıfı ve Amerikan Anestezyoloji Derneği (ASA) skoru CAE için bağımsız faktörler olarak belirlendi. Dördüncü yıl CAE oranı diğer yıllara göre anlamlı olarak az bulundu (p< 0,001). Sonuç: Bu çalışma preoperatif risk belirleme skalaları ile ASEPSIS metodu arasında zayıf ama anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu belirtmektedir. Ayrıca yara takibinin yapılması ve yara yeri enfeksiyon oranlarının bilinmesi yıllar içinde CAE oranlarını azaltmıştır.
