Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for age, gender, preoperative stay, and the number of operations. In addition, in PSZU, other nosocomial infections, and, in SWIFT-1, prophylactic antibiotics, acute surgery, and wound contamination were studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0195941700070417_abs3\"><jats:title>Participants:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was confined to hospitalized orthopedic patients (PSZU, 4,872; SWIFT-1, 6,437).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0195941700070417_abs4\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In PSZU, the following ORs were significant in a multivariate model: age 0-44 years, 1.0; 45-64 years, 1.6; 65-74 years, 4.7; and 75-99 years, 6.0. For a preoperative stay over 4 days, the OR was 3.3 (95% confidence interval [CI<jats:sub>95<\/jats:sub>], 2.5-4.0), and for multiple surgery, 2.5 (CI<jats:sub>95<\/jats:sub>, 1.9-3.0). For females, the OR was 0.8 (not significant). The same model applied to SWIFT-1 gave similar ORs. Adjustment for additional nosocomial infections (PSZU) decreased the ORs for ages over 65 years remarkably. The OR for additional nosocomial infections in patients under 65 years of age was 15.6 (CI<jats:sub>95<\/jats:sub>, 4.3-57.4). Adjustment for prophylactic antibiotics, acute surgery, and wound-contamination class (SWIFT-1) did not influence the ORs of the original model, but showed that wound-contamination class was an important risk factor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0195941700070417_abs5\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Age, additional nosocomial infections, wound-contamination class, preoperative stay, and the number of operations were identified as important risk factors for SSI in Dutch orthopedic patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1086\/501640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,3]],"date-time":"2006-02-03T19:29:41Z","timestamp":1138994981000},"page":"402-407","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Risk Assessment for Surgical-Site Infections in Orthopedic Patients"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Annette S. de","family":"Boer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
