Validation of a semi-automated surveillance system for surgical site infections: Improving exhaustiveness, representativeness, and efficiency

Semiautomated surveillance of deep surgical site infections after colorectal surgeries: A multicenter external validation of two surveillance algorithms

“…(2) because they have insufficient algorithm performance, (3) because processing time is delayed or (4) because they are too complex for application in real life. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Two published semiautomated surveillance algorithms targeting deep SSI after colorectal surgery may be feasible for the Dutch setting: a classification algorithm 19 and a multivariable regression model. 20 The classification algorithm was pre-emptively designed based on clinical and surveillance practices from a French, a Spanish, and a Dutch hospital.…”
