Abstract
Because 25% of SSIs after HPRO occurred after discharge and all were organ/space SSI, highlights the importance of postdischarge surveillance of nosocomial infections (NIs). Because all SSIs were reported already by current surveillance, the extended postdischarge surveillance appears to be unnecessary. The pursuit of shorter hospital stay after surgery may challenge the methods of surveillance systems in future.
