AI Algorithm for Surveillance of Deep Surgical Site Infections After Elective Colorectal Surgery.

Sponsor: Hospital de Granollers

Summary

Epidemiological surveillance is one of the eight core components of the World Health Organization Infection Prevention and Control Programmes. These include surveillance programmes for surgical site infection (SSI). At present, for SSI surveillance, infection control teams perform a manual time-consuming work, which could make a transition to automated surveillance leveraging the new information technology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel algorithm to detect SSI in a cohort of elective colorectal surgery patients who have been previously screened within a nationwide healthcare-associated infection surveillance system.
