“…In another study, an incidence of 115 (3.70%) SSIs was observed when analyzing 3,120 participants in the period from 1999 to 2002. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The risk factors related to the development of a SSI in the postoperative period in the hospital setting which stood out in this study were cholecystectomy surgeries, acute cholecystitis diseases and cholelithiasis, and the period of hospitalization until discharge, which are corroborated in the research scientific studies. 8,21,[25][26] However, cholecystectomy and the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis were not significant or differential elements that could certify that the patients who presented these factors suffered more SSIs in the hospital setting than those who did not undergo this surgical intervention, nor were they diagnosed with the disease, 33 these results did not compromise the achievement of the objectives proposed by this research statistically.…”

“…From 593,344 surgical operations performed in the United States from 1986 to 1996, 15,525 (3%) were followed by infection. From 551 infected patients who died 77% of the deaths were due to severe infection that had led to multiple organ failure (MOF) 12 . Since MOF was recognized it has been one of the most frequent causes of mortality in surgical patients, especially in those cared for in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) 13 .…”
