Overview
Brief Summary
This study was designed to evaluate the outcome of the implemented post-cesarean section (CS) surgical site infection (SSI) prevention protocol in Ahmadi Hospital, Kuwait. A total of 229 women who delivered by elective repeat cesarean section (ERCS) were included in this comparative study: 112 women who delivered by ERCS after the implemented protocol (study group) compared to 117 controls (who delivered by ERCS before the implemented protocol). The outcome includes the incidence of post-CS SSI after and before the implemented protocol and the risk factors which may predispose to post-CS SSI. The incidence of post-CS SSI after ERCS significantly reduced following the post-CS SSI prevention protocol. Obesity, pregestational diabetes, prolonged ROM, duration of ERCS (more than 1 h), and surgical difficulties/adhesions during the ERCS were definite risks for post-CS SSI.
