Postoperative Staphylococcus aureus infections in patients with and without preoperative colonization

Abstract: Question
What is the cumulative incidence of Staphylococcus aureus surgical site infections (SSIs) and bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Europe, and what factors are associated with an increased risk of SSIs and BSIs?

Findings
In a cohort study of 5004 surgical patients, the weighted cumulative incidence of S aureus SSIs and BSIs was 1.23%. Preoperative S aureus carriage, mastectomy or neurosurgery, higher body mass index, and having nonremovable implants in the body were independently associated with S aureus SSIs and BSIs.

Meaning
Staphylococcus aureus SSIs and BSIs are important postoperative complications, and future interventions aimed at prevention of these infections should focus on at-risk surgical patient groups to achieve a higher efficacy
