Lack of appropriate prophylaxis was of borderline significance (OR 3.2; 95%CI 0.9-11.1, P = 0.06). Among 76 patients with SSIs, 22 patients were discovered during postdischarge follow-up. These late SSIs had age as an additional risk factor (OR 2.8; 95%CI 1.1-7.2). Our data show that SSIs were frequent and differed widely by wound class. The NNIS risk index was predictive of SSI for this population. With a high number of motor vehicle accidents in Vietnam, the majority of orthopaedic operations are trauma related. Emergency surgery for injuries sustained in these accidents, and procedures with external fixation were especially prone to infections.]]> Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:551 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:24 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:421 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:03 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:301 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:23 AEDT ]]>
