Saeed KBM, et al. - Researchers examined the incidence and risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) after cesarean delivery (CD). In this case-control study of women, they observed the SSI rate of 2%. Maternal obesity and hypertensive disorders were noted to be the greatest contributors to risk of SSI. An increased risk was also observed for women who underwent an emergency CD, for women who had ≥5 vaginal examinations, and for women without hypertensive disorders who delivered a baby weighing <3,500 g.
