Abstract
The concordant observation of more complicated AA and complications after AA with meteorological data and calendric seasonal variations makes it most likely that temperature is a cofactor in complicated AA and contributes to the seasonal variations in AA. Although an increase in the microbiome of the skin during warm seasons might explain the increase in surgical site infection, the functional connection between warmer temperatures and AA complications remains unclear.
