Impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on surgical site infection and postoperative recovery outcomes: a retrospective study of 1276 cases.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in the era of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and the effect of ERAS on postoperative outcomes. Totally 1,276 patients (565 in ERAS group and 711 in non-ERAS group) who underwent operations at the department of general surgery during 2017-2021 were included. Risk factors were identified via logistic regression analysis and meta-analysis of all relevant published studies was performed. Subsequently, propensity score matching was used to match different risk factors. Overall, 40 patients were diagnosed with SSI, and the pooled incidence of SSI was 3.13%. In total, 14 (2.48%) and 26 (3.66%) patients in the ERAS and non-ERAS groups, respectively, were diagnosed with SSI (P = 0.230). A
