ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To establish surgical site infection (SSI) performance benchmarks in pediatric surgery and to develop a prioritization framework for SSI prevention based on procedure-level SSI burden.BACKGROUND:
Contemporary epidemiology of SSI rates and event burden in elective pediatric surgery remain poorly characterized.METHODS:
Multicenter analysis using sampled SSI data from 90 hospitals participating in NSQIP-Pediatric and procedural volume data from the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database. Procedure-level incisional and organ space SSI (OSI) rates for 17 elective procedure groups were calculated from NSQIP-Pediatric data and estimates of procedure-level SSI burden were extrapolated using procedural volume data. The relative contribution of each procedure to the cumulative sum of SSI events from all procedures was used as a prioritization framework.RESULTS:
A total of 11,689 nonemergent procedures were included. The highest incisional SSI rates were associated with gastrostomy closure (4.1%), small bowel procedures (4.0%), and gastrostomy (3.7%), while the highest OSI rates were associated with esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula repair (8.1%), colorectal procedures (1.8%), and small bowel procedures (1.5%). 66.1% of the cumulative incisional SSI burden from all procedures were attributable to 3 procedure groups (gastrostomy 27.5%, small bowel 22.9%, colorectal 15.7%), and 72.8% of all OSI events were similarly attributable to 3 procedure groups (small bowel 28.5%, colorectal 26.0%, esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula repair 18.4%).CONCLUSIONS:
A small number of procedures account for a disproportionate burden of SSIs in pediatric surgery. The results of this analysis can be used as a prioritization framework for refocusing SSI prevention efforts where they are needed most.
