  1. Statistically significant results are displayed in bold and italic
  2. In the first multivariate model, the group of SSI was compared to all other non-infected surgery episodes. In the second analysis, non-infectious wound problems were compared to all episodes without SSI or wound problems, and in the last analysis, all local complications versus all uneventful surgeries
  3. “–“ = not included. SSI = surgical site infection
