Journal of Hospital Infection, 141, 112-118. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhin.2023.08.023

Background
Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance aims to facilitate a reduction in SSIs through identifying infection rates, benchmarking, triggering clinical review and instituting infection control measures. Participation in surveillance is,... Read More about Barriers and facilitators for surgical site infection surveillance for adult cardiac surgery in a high-income setting: an in-depth exploration.
