A total of 345 pregnant women were enrolled. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data were collected using a standardized questionnaire. Wound specimens were collected and processed as per standard operative procedures; and susceptibility testing was carried out using a disc diffusion technique.

The median time from CS to the development of SSI was 7 days (interquartile range [IQR] = 6\u20139 days). Six independent risk factors for post caesarean SSI as identified in this study by multivariate analysis are: hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HR: 2.5; 95% CI, 1.1-5.6;\n                      <jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.021), severe anaemia (HR: 3.8; 95% CI, 1.2-12.4,\n                      <jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.028), surgical wound class III (HR: 2.4; 95% CI, 1.1-5.0;\n                      <jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.021), multiple vaginal examinations (HR: 2.5; 95% CI, 1.2-5.1;\n                      <jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.011), prolonged duration of operation (HR: 2.6; 95% CI, 1.2-5.5;\n                      <jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.015) and an operation performed by an intern or junior doctor (HR: 4.0; 95% CI, 1.7-9.2;\n                      <jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.001).\n                      <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                      was the most common organism (27.3%), followed by\n                      <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                      (22.7%).
