“…To mitigate the burden of HCAI, several strategies can be implemented [121]. There is already evidence globally, that interventions such as hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, surveillance, and multimodal approaches are costeffective for the prevention and control of HCAI [122]. Overall, implementing a multimodal approach to HCAI prevention and control in Africa is necessary to reduce the burden of these infections and mitigate the risks to patient safety, and surveillance to quantify the problem and guide local action is key.…”

“…Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are unintended consequences of care that, in addition to increasing morbidity and mortality, can increase the patient's hospitalization time as well as treatment costs, either for the patient or for the health system (Fuglestad et al, 2021;Rice et al, 2023;Sahtoe et al, 2021;Tesini & Dumyati, 2023;Totty et al, 2021;Yokoe et al, 2008). Surgical site infections (SSIs), one of the most frequent types of HAIs (Delgado-Rodríguez et al, 2001;Mengistu et al, 2023), are becoming more challenging due to a higher number of surgical procedures performed worldwide, the increasingly complex comorbidities seen in surgical patients and increased antimicrobial resistance (Sahtoe et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Postoperative surgical site infections represent one of the most frequent complications related to health care and can increase morbidity and mortality, in addition to increasing treatment costs. Objectives: This study evaluated surgical site infections incidence after dentoalveolar surgeries of retained third molars. The article presents the development of a surgical complexity score that can be used as a predictive method for surgical site infections risk in dentoalveolar surgeries. Methodology: In this cross-sectional observational study, the sample was obtained for convenience, from medical records of patients diagnosed with tooth retention and who underwent dentoalveolar surgery of third molars, from 2015 to 2020. Demographic variables of patients, characteristics of the surgery and information regarding the diagnosis of surgical site infections in the postoperative period were collected. Results: A total of 360 medical records were analyzed, with 59 surgical site infection cases diagnosed (16.4%). There was a statistical difference (p<0.05) in the bivariate analysis correlating infection with time of procedure, type of incision and performance of ostectomy and tooth sectioning. Logistic regression analysis to identify the probability of infection showed no significance for any of the individual variables, except when they are combined composing the surgical complexity score, which was then significantly higher in surgical site infections cases. Conclusions: The surgical complexity score developed can be a new predictive tool for the occurrence of surgical site infections in dentoalveolar surgeries, taking into account that the greater the complexity of surgery, the greater risk.
