“…The rate of Med/deep soft tissue infection was equivalent (5.3% vs. 0, in DSC and PSC, respectively, p = .24). The significant difference in postoperative infection rates was due to high rate of pneumonia in the DSC patients (19.3% vs. 1.8% in DSC and PSC, respectively, p < .005), possibly related to longer time spent on a ventilator 16 …”

“…Also, there were 10 (7.6%) patients who developed C. difficile infection, none in the abbreviated duration patients. 6 Another retrospective (November 2015 to November 2018) single-center study 16 Quader et al 13 Anderson et al 11 Boeken et al 1 Furnary et al 12 The rate of postoperative infection was higher in DSC compared to PSC (31.6% vs. 3.5%, respectively, p < .005). The rate of Med/deep soft tissue infection was equivalent (5.3% vs. 0, in DSC and PSC, respectively, p = .24).…”

“…Additionally, the disrupted physical barriers after transplantation, and the use of nasogastric and endotracheal tubes also increased the likelihood of aspiration and infection [ 22 ]. Extensive researches on open chest management after cardiac surgery also identified increased risk of hospital-acquired infections in the settings of ‘open chest’ [ 23 26 ].…”
