Abstract

Surgical site infections (SSI) surveillance after heart transplantation is critical for preventing SSI. We analyzed the accuracy of 3 SSI surveillance systems: National-Healthcare-Safety-Network (NHSN), Society-of-Thoracic-Surgeons (STS), and detailed manual surveillance (TXID). National-Healthcare-Safety-Network and Society-of-Thoracic-Surgeons showed low sensitivity compared to TXID, highlighting the need for more accurate and efficient surveillance strategies.

心脏的改变：国家医疗安全网络（NHSN）和胸外科学会（STS）监测策略在识别心脏移植手术后手术部位感染方面的局限性。

心脏移植术后手术部位感染（SSI）监测是预防SSI的关键。我们分析了3种SSI监测系统的准确性：国家卫生保健安全网络（NHSN）、胸外科医师协会（STS）和详细的人工监测（TXID）。与TXID相比，国家卫生保健安全网络和胸外科医师协会的敏感性较低，这突出表明需要更准确、更有效的监测策略。
