Individual and institutional predisposing factors of MRSA surgical site infection and outcomes-a retrospective case-control-study in 14 European high-volume surgical centres.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess incidence rates of surgical site infections (SSI) by MRSA and to determine related factors and clinical outcome compared to MSSA, including country-specific, institutional and patient determinants.

Patients and methods

We performed a subgroup analysis of the Europe-wide SALT (NCT03353532) study population with MRSA SSI from 14 centres in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.

Results

An overall MRSA SSI incidence of 0.06% (n = 104) was found in 178 903 patients undergoing invasive surgery in 2016. Frequently observed comorbidities were chronic cardiovascular disease, diabetes and solid tumours. Compared to the overall MRSA SSI incidence, incidence rates were significantly higher in Spain (58 of 67 934 cases) and lower in Germany (16 of 4
