Stapleton EJ, Frane N, Lentz JM, et al. - Researchers sought to measure whether the use of perioperative disposable jackets is correlated with the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs). They retrospectively examined surgical site infection data for individuals undergoing clean surgical procedures from 12 hospitals in a large multicenter health care organization during a 55-month period between January 1, 2014, and July 31, 2018. They evaluated the incidence of SSI was for all National Healthcare Safety Network monitored and reported procedures. In this study, they enrolled a sum of 60,009 individuals (mean [SD] age, 62.8 [13.9] years; 32 139 [53.6%] male). The outcomes demonstrated that the use of perioperative disposable jackets is not correlated with reductions in SSI for clean wounds in a large multicenter health care organization and presents a fiscal burden.
