Abstract

Objective: The objective of the scoping review will be to understand and describe risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) in an orthopaedic surgery population in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa. This paper describes the protocol that will be used for the scoping review.

Method: A comprehensive literature search will be conducted using MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase and Cochrane Libraries to identify articles meeting the inclusion criteria, including both published and grey literature, in order to provide a broad overview of the reported risk factors associated with patients who have undergone an orthopaedic surgery with an outcome of SSI within 90 days of a procedure. Additional studies will be sourced by exploring the reference list of included eligible studies. By using a combination of the Population, Exposure, Outcome framework, terms and synonyms related to each category, in different variations, along with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) in the search strategy, identified comprehensive and relevant literature for the scoping review.

Results: It is anticipated the results will provide a baseline of risk factors that will inform the development of a risk assessment tool for clinical use.

Conclusion: This protocol will inform the development of a scoping review to describe factors associated with SSIs following orthopaedic surgery in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa.

南非和撒哈拉以南非洲地区骨科手术后手术部位感染的相关风险因素：范围界定审查协议。

目的：范围界定综述的目的是了解和描述撒哈拉以南非洲和南非骨科手术人群中与手术部位感染（SSI）相关的风险因素。本文介绍了将用于范围界定综述的方案：将使用 MEDLINE (PubMed)、CINAHL (EBSCO)、Embase 和 Cochrane Libraries 进行全面的文献检索，以确定符合纳入标准的文章，包括已发表的文献和灰色文献，从而提供与接受骨科手术并在手术后 90 天内出现 SSI 结果的患者相关的风险因素报告的概览。我们还将通过参考文献列表中符合条件的研究来寻找其他研究。通过在检索策略中结合使用 "人群、暴露、结果 "框架、与每个类别相关的不同术语和同义词以及布尔运算符（AND、OR、NOT），为范围界定审查确定了全面的相关文献：预计结果将提供一个风险因素基线，为开发临床使用的风险评估工具提供依据：本方案将为开展范围界定综述提供信息，以描述与撒哈拉以南非洲和南非骨科手术后 SSI 相关的因素。

期刊介绍： Journal of Wound Care (JWC) is the definitive wound-care journal and the leading source of up-to-date research and clinical information on everything related to tissue viability. The journal was first launched in 1992 and aimed at catering to the needs of the multidisciplinary team. Published monthly, the journal’s international audience includes nurses, doctors and researchers specialising in wound management and tissue viability, as well as generalists wishing to enhance their practice. In addition to cutting edge and state-of-the-art research and practice articles, JWC also covers topics related to wound-care management, education and novel therapies, as well as JWC cases supplements, a supplement dedicated solely to case reports and case series in wound care. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed by a panel of international experts, comprised of clinicians, nurses and researchers. Specifically, JWC publishes: High quality evidence on all aspects of wound care, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, the diabetic foot, burns, surgical wounds, wound infection and more The latest developments and innovations in wound care through both preclinical and preliminary clinical trials of potential new treatments worldwide In-depth prospective studies of new treatment applications, as well as high-level research evidence on existing treatments Clinical case studies providing information on how to deal with complex wounds Comprehensive literature reviews on current concepts and practice, including cost-effectiveness Updates on the activities of wound care societies around the world.
