Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is still a major cause of morbidity and
mortality. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, microbial and
sensitivity configuration at Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital.
Objective: To identify the incidence, risk factors, common microorganisms causing
surgical site infection and antimicrobial sensitivity at Dodoma Regional Referral
Hospital
Methods: A prospective hospital based study was conducted at Dodoma Regional
Hospital in clouding obstetrics/gynaecology, orthopaedics and general surgery adult
and paediatric wards from January 2019 to May, 2019. A total of 357 newly
operated inpatients were registered but 11 patients among the group lost their lives.
Results: Three hundred and fifty-seven patients were followed up for the
development of surgical site infection. 59 patients developed features of surgical site
infection. No patient who developed SSI was reported to have died. Majority of the
infections were from obstetrics and gynaecology department (6.2%), followed by
Surgical department (5.9%), and finally orthopaedics department (4.5%). The
predominant organism isolated was staphylococcus aureus (50%), Klebsiella (19%),
Pseudomonas (12%), E. coli (12%), Proteus vulgaris 0.8% and Proteus mirabilis
(3%).
Conclusion: The occurrence of infection in our centre is still high and the pattern of
microbes causing surgical site infection differs from one place or hospital to another
while staphylococcus aureus is dominant in surgery and Klebsiella in
obstetrics/gynaecology. |
