A meta-analysis of risk factors for non-superficial surgical site infection following spinal surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complications in spinal surgery. In SSI, non-superficial surgical site infections are more likely to result in poor clinical outcomes. It has been reported that there are multiple factors contributing to postoperative non-superficial SSI, but still remains controversial. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the potential risk factors for non-superficial SSI following spinal surgery.

Methods

A systematic database search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials was performed for relevant articles published until September 2022. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two evaluators independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality
