| description | Getachew Moges, Lielet Belete, Yohannes Mengesha, Solomon Ahmed Department of Pharmacy, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Wollo University, Dessie, EthiopiaCorrespondence: Getachew Moges Email getachewmoges@yahoo.comBackground: Surgical site infections are global healthcare problems. Although surgical site infections are preventable, they still cause significant morbidity, high death rates, and financial stress on national budgets and individual patients. Inappropriate uses of surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis are increasing and worsening patients’ quality of life. This study determined the incidence and risk factors of surgical site infections.Methods: Institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured data abstraction format on patients who were attending at the surgical ward of Borumeda hospital from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2019. The data were collected during July 15– 30, 2019. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to select 227 surgical cases. Multivariate logistic regression was computed using the statistical package for social sciences version 23.Results: The incidence of surgical site infections was 46.7%. Prophylaxis was administered to 188 (82.8%) surgical cases. Prophylaxis was recommended for 151 (66.5%). Out of these, only 143 (94.7%) received prophylaxis. One hundred seventy-four (78.4%) of the procedures had appropriate indication. The compliance of surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis use was 13.7%. The predictors of surgical site infections were receiving prophylaxis more than 24 h after surgery (AOR=3.53, 95% CI: 1.22– 10.17), clean-contaminated wounds (AOR=4.54, 95% CI: 1.33– 15.53), surgical procedure of thyroidectomy (AOR=5.2, 95% CI: 0.9– 21.4), appendectomy (AOR = 29, 95% CI: 6.2– 141.7), cholecystectomy (AOR = 21, 95% CI: 3.5 − 126.7), hernia (AOR= 8.8, 95% CI: 1.2– 62.2), skin and deep tissue (AOR = 125, 95% CI: 7.8– 196.7), and orthopedic (AOR=57, 95% CI: 1.6– 209.5).Conclusion: There was high inconsistency between surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis practice and international surgical site infections prevention guideline. Wrong selection of antimicrobial agents was the most noncompliant to the guidelines. The incidence of surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis was high and requires due attention. The duration of postoperative prophylaxis should be kept to less than 24 h.Keywords: surgical site infection, antimicrobial prophylaxis, Borumeda hospital |
