The rate of postoperative wound infections was determined in a prospective study during one year in a newly opened University hospital. Protocols which were part of the routine care of the patients were used for recording of wound infections. This method of registration was simple and proved to be efficient with a failure rate of only 1%. The overall infection rate was 9%--after clean surgery 2.6%, potentially contaminated surgery 14% and contaminated surgery 16%. Old age, long preoperative hospital stay, emergency operations and long operative times were associated with high frequency of wound infections. The importance of continuous recording of wound infections in a surgical unit was emphasized.
在一家新开的大学医院进行了一项为期一年的前瞻性研究，以确定术后伤口感染率。采用患者常规护理的一部分方案来记录伤口感染情况。这种记录方法简单，且经证明效率很高，失败率仅为1%。总体感染率为9%——清洁手术后为2.6%，可能污染手术为14%，污染手术为16%。高龄、术前住院时间长、急诊手术和手术时间长与伤口感染的高发生率相关。强调了在外科病房持续记录伤口感染情况的重要性。
