“…This could have created a situation where dust-laden bacterial particles suspended in the air and equally re-suspended from the operating room or ward floors would have easy access to surgical wounds. This concurs with the findings and conclusions of [11][12][13].…”

Introduction: Nosocomial surgical site infections remain a key drawback in health care facilities, resulting in extended length of stay, significant morbidity and mortality, elevated excess of cost, and less regular basis of death in the surgical patient. Aim: The objective of the study is to determine the rate of occurrence of surgical site nosocomial infections in surgical patients in Specialist Hospital Sokoto, Nigeria. ) was carried out in Specialist Hospital Sokoto, Nigeria. Methodology: Patients' folders and microbiology laboratory records were used for the determination of prevalence of nosocomial infections in. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: Result of the retrospective study of surgical site infection in the hospital showed that surgical site nosocomial infections are frequent in the hospital, with a prevalence rate of 4.7% (2011/2012) and 7.6% (2012/2013). Conclusion: Despite the fact that this study is limited to nosocomial surgical site infections in three surgical wards only, surgical site infection exists as a major problem hospital. The results of this study are consistent with reports of similar studies in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is both the most frequently studied healthcare-associated infection and the most common healthcare-associated infection in the developing world. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the relative size of this burden and to estimate the prevalence of SSI in clean and clean-contaminated surgeries in a large sample of countries in the developing world. Methods: A systematic search of the MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and LILACS databases was conducted to identify studies providing the prevalence of SSI in elective clean and clean-contaminated surgeries in 39 countries or regions around the world. Data of interest were limited to publications from January 2000 to December 2017. Studies with information on the number of cases of SSI and number of total elective clean and clean-contaminated surgeries during the same period were included in this evaluation. Studies lacking clear definition of the total number of exposed patients were excluded. Results: Based on the combined data from the 99 articles evaluated in this analysis, the overall prevalence of SSI in elective clean and clean-contaminated surgeries was estimated to be 6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 5-7%). This increased to 15% (95% CI 6-27%) when considering only those reports with post-discharge surveillance data. The overall prevalence of SSI in Africa/Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and China was 10% (95% CI 6-15%), 7% (95% CI 5-10%), 4% (95% CI 4-5%), and 4% (95% CI 2-6%), respectively. Significant variability in the data was confirmed by both the funnel plot and the Egger test (p = 0.008). Conclusions: Although the data are variable, it is clear that the incidence of SSI in the developing world is higher than that in the developed world.

“…There are therefore two main categories of risk factors: the first are intrinsic to the patients, and reflect the existence of a relative immune-depression, or a pathology responsible for a particular sensitivity to certain infections (extreme age, chronic pathology, cardiovascular, renal, respiratory or hepatic, malnutrition, diabetes, cancerous disease, homeopathy, immunoglobulin deficiency) and the latter are extrinsic factors to the patients, directly or indirectly related to medical interventions and the environment in which those These are done [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…The reason why researchers are protesting about the architecture, the structure of the services and the quality of the maintenance of the environment, which can play a role in the infectious risk, from where they suggest a particular attention in hygiene hospital, with the involvement of the competent departments of the hospital administration, the specifications of agencies responsible for bio cleaning, and the assumption of responsibility for daily maintenance of equipment by the staff of the service [25][26][27][28].…”

Introduction: In Africa, up to 20% of women who have had a caesarean section contract a nosocomial infection of surgical wounds, compromising their health and ability to care for their children. In the DRC the field of hospital hygiene is of little interest to researchers, so it is difficult to analyze the problem when it is a thorny public health problem. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study whose study population consisted of women, whose delivery was associated with surgery, including a caesarean section or an episiotomy. The data collection was exhaustive and one nosocomial case of surgical wounds was defined according to the WHO definition. Associated factors were evaluated by the prevalence ratio at the significance level p ˂ 0.05. Results: We obtained 443 surgical cases; of which 253 were caesarean sections 57.1% and 190 or 42.9% were episiotomies and the prevalence of nosocomial surgical wound infections was 9.9%. The risk of developing a nosocomial surgical site infection was 6.8 times high at the Congo Railroad Hospital (SNCC) and 5.0 times at Jason Sendwe General Referral Hospital than at the Hospital. The GeneralReference Hospital (HGR) of Kenya and its association were statistically significant (p = 0.0022). A statistically significant difference was observed between the rate of nosocomial infections of surgical wounds and the age group of pregnancy between 32 to 34 WS, parturient who gave birth in this age group was 4 times at the risk of developing nosocomial infection surgical wounds. Long stay of more than 10 days (p=0.0010), delivery by caesarean section (p=0.0481), parturient carrying the indwelling catheter (p = 0.0162) and taking antibiotics were associated with the onset of nosocomial infection of surgical wounds. Conclusion: The factors associated with nosocomial infections of surgical wounds in maternity wards of public hospitals in Lubumbashi are related to the state of the structures, to the health care administered to clients. It is necessary to improve the hygiene conditions of the maternities, to train the personnel on the measures of hygiene and to apply a good policy of use of the antibacterial ones.
