摘要：

A prospective cohort study on 1103 consecutive patients undergoing general surgery with a follow-up of up to 30 days was undertaken to analyse the risk factors for surgical-site infection (SSI). Relative risks (RRs), crude and multiple-risk factors adjusted for by logistic regression analysis, and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated. One hundred and four patients (9.4%) developed infection, 81 in hospital and 23 at home. Predictors for in-hospital SSI differed from those for post-discharge SSI. In a crude analysis, an increased risk of past-discharge SSI occurred after clean-contaminated surgery (but not contaminated surgery). Stepwise logistic regression failed to identify any significant predictor for post-discharge SSI.
