Incidence and Risk Factors of Surgical Site Infections After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

The burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasing in the Nepalese population. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains one of the most frequently performed surgical interventions for the management of advanced CAD. Despite this, there is a paucity of data regarding the incidence and determinants of surgical site infections (SSIs) following CABG in the Nepalese context. This study aimed to determine the incidence of SSIs after CABG surgery in the Nepalese population.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults aged 18 years or older
  • Undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
  • Elective surgical cases

Exclusion criteria

  • CABG performed in combination with other cardiac procedures (e.g., valve surgery, aortic aneurysm repair, congenital heart surgery)
  • Known allergy to penicillin or cephalosporins
  • Refusal to provide informed consent
  • Loss to follow-up within 30 days after surgery

Treatment and study plan

CABG surgery

Procedure

CABG surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

    Time frame: 30 days post-CABG

    The study aims to assess the proportion of patients developing surgical site infections within the first 30 days after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. SSIs will be identified based on standardized diagnostic criteria, and cases will be classified according to infection depth and site. Data collection will include clinical examination findings, laboratory results, and relevant imaging, ensuring comprehensive identification and categorization of infections.
