The associations between 23 preoperative and perioperative features and the presence of SSI at the donor site or in the chest area were evaluated by univariate analysis followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>SETTING: A university hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    RESULTS: 172 patients (19.5%) either had an SSI recorded before discharge or had received antibiotics prescribed for a suspected SSI during the 1-month surveillance period after discharge. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed an extreme body mass index (BMI;\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.015), female gender (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.023), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD;\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.030) to be independent risk features for SSI. The donor site was infected in 136 patients (15.4%), an event for which female gender (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.003) was the only independent risk feature. Forty-seven patients (5.3%) had an SSI of the chest area, with diabetes (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.003) and extreme BMI (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.010) as independent risk features.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSION: Extreme BMI, female gender, and COPD are highly significant independent predictors of the development of SSI. Female gender is a risk feature specifically for SSI at the donor site, whereas diabetes and extreme BMI predict it in the chest area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1086\/647802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,9]],"date-time":"2009-09-09T15:51:39Z","timestamp":1252511499000},"page":"240-247","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Risk
