Basic Perioperative Measures To Reduce Staphylococcus Aureus Transmission and Site Infection .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
The Effect of Improving Basic Preventive Measures in the Perioperative Arena on Staphylococcus aureus Transmission and Surgical Site Infections: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Netw Open . 2020 Mar 2;3(3):e201934.Two hundred thirty-six patients undergoing orthopedic, gynecologic, thoracic, general, colorectal, vascular, plastic, or urological surgery were randomized to receive either an infection prevention bundle (n=106) or usual care (n=130). The primary outcome was the incidence and number of S. aureus transmission events. Secondary outcomes included incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs), association between transmission and SSI, and impact of feedback intervention. Outcomes were assessed up to 60 days postoperatively. Overall, the results revealed that the infection prevention bundle significantly reduced S. aureus transmission and the incidence of SSIs. This suggests that implementing multifaceted basic preventive strategies can meaningfully improve perioperative patient safety.
