TO STUDY THE CLINICAL CORRELATION OF POST OPERATIVE ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS OF PATIENTS

Abstract

Introduction:Surgical site infections remain a major issue among hospital-acquired infections. 
This long-standing issue is exacerbated by the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance, an 
increase in surgical interventions, the presence of comorbidities among patients, significantly 
increased costs, and delays to adjuvant systemic therapy; they affect 4 to 5% of patients 
undergoing surgery.
