We assessed 2 outcomes in the 30-day postoperative period: (1) UTI, which was identified directly from the patient medical record–level data entered into VASQIP, and (2) SSI, which was defined as any VASQIP-assessed superficial, deep wound, and organ/space infection. Both outcomes ...
Most common complications were wound infections including surgical-site infection and wound dehiscence (11 patients, 2.7%), sepsis (10 patients, 2.5%), blood loss (nine patients, 2.2%), and deep vein thrombosis (DVT; seven pat...
The investigation of eight major complications, including acute myocardial infarction, acute renal failure, deep-wound infection pneumonia, postoperative bleeding, pulmonary embolism, septicemia, and stroke, adds granularity to the understanding of the outcomes. Furthermore, the concentration on individuals ...

In the study population as a whole, there were no patients with gingival necrosis, infection of the tissue flap, or abscess. Several patients had more than one complication and four patients were diagnosed with ORN at the mandibulotomy site within the follow-up period (presenting different combi...
Claims data has usually been used in recent studies to identify cases of healthcare-associated infection. However, several studies have indicated that the ICD-9-CM codes might be inappropriate for identifying such cases from claims data; therefore, sever

(surgical site infections, wound dehiscence), medical complications (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, seizure, cardiac arrest, bleeding/transfusions, systemic sepsis, unplanned intubation), readmission, and reoperation.#The bilateral cohort was older (696 days versus 619 days,P<.001) and had ...
Patients with a BMI of 30 to 34.99 and 35 to 39.99kg/m2 had a significantly increased risk of cellulitis, surgical site infection, need for debridement, wound dehiscence, and flap failure. ConclusionOur study illustrates that there is an increased risk of postoperative complications associated with...
Stopping DMARDs after surgery was associated with increased risk of postoperative general infection (OR 1.84, 95 % CI 1.07–3.16) compared with not stopping. There was positive association between stopping DMARDs after surgery and postoperative wound infection but failed to achieve statistical ...
