This is the largest study to date analyzing SSI in neonates. We found that perioperative variables have a more significant impact on SSI than patient factors, suggesting that operation-related characteristics are influencing SSI. Furthermore, neonates with SSI are more likely to have prolonged hospitalizations even after adjusting for patient comorbidities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
