Background Surgical site infections (SSI) are the second most common cause of nosocomial infections and thus constitute a major concern to hospitals. SSIs of the sternal and graft site wounds following cardiac surgery are associated with increases in hospitalisation costs, length of in-hospital stays, and mortality. ObjectiveTo identify modifiable risk factors for the development of SSIs within up to one year of surgery following invasive cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal (JGH), Quebec. SSIs of interest include both sternal wound infections (SWIs) and leg incision infections (LIIs). Methods Using the Quebec Registry in Adult Cardiac Surgery (QRACS), the cohort of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the JG...
