Humans, ‘things’ and space: costing hospital infection control interventions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a set of generic, transferable costing guidelines to design and evaluate the costs of hospital-based infection control interventions or programs, and discuss several issues to consider when costing interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Who bears the cost of healthcare-acquired surgical site infection?
Nicholas Graves,Nicholas Graves,Kate Halton,Kate Halton,Shane Doidge,Archie C. A. Clements,David R. Lairson,Michael Whitby +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to estimate the economic costs of healthcare-acquired surgical site infection and show how they are distributed between the in-hospital and post-discharge phases of care and recovery, and to inform subsequent cost-effectiveness analyses that evaluate the efficiency of programmes to reduce the risks of HA-SSI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Best practice perioperative strategies and surgical techniques for preventing caesarean section surgical site infections: a systematic review of reviews and meta-analyses
