The infection rate at 3\u00a0years was significantly higher for patients with at least one risk factor compared to those without any (3.9% vs. 2.8%, HR 1.40 [95% CI 1.14, 1.72]).

Among 12 risk factors analyzed, five were significantly and positively associated with infection rate: Type 2 diabetes with comorbidities (4.7% vs. 3.0%, HR 1.56 [95% CI: 1.14, 2.1.3]), Type 2 diabetes without comorbidities (4.3% vs. 3.0%, HR 1.38 [95% CI: 1.06, 1.79]), spinal cord injury (9.8% vs. 3.0%, HR 2.81 [95% CI: 1.33, 5.93]), obesity (5.2% vs. 3.0%, HR 1.74 [95% CI: 1.26, 2.41]), and concomitant circumcision (6.6% vs. 3.0%, HR 2.01 [95% CI: 1.04, 3.89]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall rate of infection post-IPP was low, with most infections occurring within the first 6\u00a0months, particularly among higher risk patients, highlighting the importance of close early postoperative monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Strengths &amp; Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Strengths include the large patient population and data from diverse clinical settings.
