Predicting surgical site infections following laparoscopic bariatric surgery: development of the BariWound tool using the MBSAQIP database
ConclusionsBariWound accurately predicted the risk of 30-day incisional SSI in individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Stratifying low- and high-risk groups allows for customized SSI prophylactic measures for patients in various risk categories and potentially enables future research targeted at high-risk patients.
