摘要: Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) are among the most frequent healthcare-associated infections. They impose a substantial burden with increased morbidity and exceeding healthcare costs. Risk factors such as age, diabetes, smoking status commonly accounted for in literature, but few studies address gender differences. Methods: Data from German Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (Krankenhaus-Infektions-Surveillance-System (KISS)) 2005 to 2010 were analysed cardiac, vascular, visceral, orthopaedic surgery, total of 438,050 surgical procedures 8,639 SSI. Rates SSI isolated pathogens gender. Results: Women had lower rate (SSI/100 procedures) abdominal surgery than men (2.92 vs. 4.37; p Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which more women (both = 0.007), while coagulase-negative staphylococci occurred often (18.8 14.0%; Conclusion: Gender differences exist procedure-specific. The underlying mechanisms need be further elucidated so that targeted measures prevention can developed.
