💨 Abstract

The ICMR study reveals a higher Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) rate in three major Indian hospitals compared to high-income countries. SSIs, caused by surgeries like debridement, ORIF, and CRIF, are prevalent and cause increased hospital stay and health expenses. The study also found a link between longer surgeries, polluted wound class, and increased risk of SSIs.
