The wound infection incidence during inpatient stay was compared with the post-discharge infection incidence for 1 month using audit data and a patient questionnaire. The true infection rate was found to be 20% compared with an apparent rate of 2.4% (P < 0.001). The study highlights the problems of postoperative monitoring in the context of shorter inpatient stays and fewer routine outpatient appointments.
利用审计数据和患者问卷,对住院期间的伤口感染发生率与出院后1个月的感染发生率进行了比较。发现实际感染率为20%,而表观感染率为2.4%(P<0.001)。该研究凸显了在住院时间缩短和常规门诊预约减少的情况下术后监测存在的问题。
