- Lead Sponsor
- Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa University
- Brief Summary
Age, diabetes, smoking during the previous year, operative time, and radiation therapy, were independent risk factors for SSI. A risk scoring system combining these factors was developed. In another cohort of 76 patients, risk scores of 2 points or more were significantly correlated with increased risk of SSI.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The associations of various variables (age, body mass index, diabetes, smoking during the previous year, tumor location, tumor depth, resected tumor size, operative time, skin graft or flap, preoperative chemotherapy, and radiation therapy) with SSI were evaluated in a cohort of 471 patients. Furthermore, a scoring system was developed by combining these risk factors, and the predictive power of the scoring system was evaluated in another cohort of 76 patients.
