Complex procedures and patients (eg, cancer, end-stage renal disease) and procedures with pre-existing infection were excluded. Surgical site infections within 90 days after cholecystectomy were identified by ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify independent risk factors for SSI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Surgical site infections were identified after 472 of 66566 (0.71%) cholecystectomies; incidence was higher after open (n = 51, 4.93%) versus laparoscopic procedures (n = 421, 0.64%; P &amp;lt; .001). Independent risk factors for SSI included male gender, preoperative chronic anemia, diabetes, drug abuse, malnutrition\/weight loss, obesity, smoking-related diseases, previous Staphylococcus aureus infection, laparoscopic approach with acute cholecystitis\/obstruction (hazards ratio [HR], 1.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.27\u20131.96), open approach with (HR, 4.29; 95% CI, 2.45\u20137.52) or without acute cholecystitis\/obstruction (HR, 4.04; 95% CI, 1.96\u20138.34), conversion to open approach with (HR, 4.71; 95% CI, 2.74\u20138.10) or without acute cholecystitis\/obstruction (HR, 7.11; 95% CI, 3.87\u201313.08), bile duct exploration, postoperative chronic anemia, and postoperative pneumonia or urinary tract infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Acute cholecystitis or obstruction was associated with significantly increased risk of SSI with laparoscopic but not open cholecystectomy.
