We have studied in this paper the rate of SSIs, their outcomes in patients undergoing interventions for trauma and SSI trends in developing countries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A 16-month study (May, 2011- August, 2012) was carried out. Patients undergoing interventions for orthopedic trauma were followed and assessed for SSIs and their outcomes and antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of the micro-organisms isolated were noted and correlated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 40 (4.4%) confirmed cases of SSIs were identified among 852 patients of orthopedic trauma. Based on the new CDC criteria, after ruling out cellulitis, only 24 (2.6%) were found to have SSIs. A total of 12.5% of the SSIs were detected during follow-up.\n Acinetobacter baumannii<\/jats:italic>\n was the predominant organism as also\n Staphylococcus aureus.<\/jats:italic>\n Outcomes observed included changes in antibiotic regime, revision surgery, readmission to hospital and deaths.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n SSI is prevalent in orthopaedic trauma patients and an active surveillance program will help in early management and prevention.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0022-3859.138731","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,14]],"date-time":"2014-08-14T09:42:13Z","timestamp":1408009333000},"page":"254-259","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Outcomes of surgical site infections in orthopedic trauma surgeries in a tertiary care centre in India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"N","family":"Rajkumari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"AK","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Mathur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Trikha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Farooque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MC","family":"Misra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-3-20240205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-6553(99)70088-X","article-title":"Guideline for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection, 1999.
