Abstract
En 中文
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a leading and preventable cause of postoperative morbidity in Pakistan. However, the absence of national-level data has precluded the development of targeted preventative measures. PakSurg1 aimed to quantify the burden of SSIs and evaluate associated risk factors in a multicentre cohort across Pakistan.
