Risk Factors Summary

 Primary Impact Factor on SSIs:
  Surgical invasiveness
 Secondary Impact Factors on SSIs:
  Treating pre-existing disease
  Not operating on high risk patients
Economic Impact
   About 300,000 US spine fusion surgeries/year1
   SSI rate about 6% overall2
   Cost per SSI about $24,0002
   Total annual spine fusion SSI cost =
     0.06 X 300,000 X $24,000 = $432,000,000
 Spine fusion SSI now an HAC for IPPS hospitals

Current methods of prophylaxis


   The economic impact of SSI is large
   Big spine surgeries are high risk for SSI
   Current methods are not effective
   The hospitals are paying for SSI care
Novel methods for SSI

Editor's Notes

  • #8: Gram(-) are usually polymicrobial, arent affected by vancomycin, and were present in 40.3% of all positive Deep SSI cultures, compared to only 10% in positive superficial SSI cultures. *** Skin flora is a known cause of late deep SSI, and skin flora is overwhelmingly Gram(+), so preventing early onset deep SSI means adequately targeting gram negatives as well
  • #9: Gram(-) are usually polymicrobial, arent affected by vancomycin, and were present in 40.3% of all positive Deep SSI cultures, compared to only 10% in positive superficial SSI cultures. *** Skin flora is a known cause of late deep SSI, and skin flora is overwhelmingly Gram(+), so preventing early onset deep SSI means adequately targeting gram negatives as well
  • #10: CRP is better than ESR, because at 15 days, CRP normalizes in normal pts, while ESR is still peaking in normal and infected ptsCommon
  • #11: &lt; 60% of clinical isolates from wound infections in the US are resistant to cephalosporins (Sweet et al.)Current IV prophylaxis with cephalosporins provides coverage for less than half of the staph organisms found in hospitals and is probably not an adequate prophylactic agent by itself. - SweetUnfortunately, intravenous vancomycin has not been shown to reduce surgical wound infection rates. [relative to cephalosporins] - Sweet
  • #15: Clinical Infectious Diseases 2009; 49:3257 it is recommended that trough serum vancomycin concentrations always be maintained at 10 mcg/L to avoid the development of resistance. (Level of evidence, III; grade of recommendation, B.)
