Abstract

A retrospective case-control study was performed to determine the risks and outcomes associated with pediatric cardiothoracic surgical site infection. Undergoing more than 1 cardiothoracic operative procedure, having preoperative infection, and undergoing surgery on a Monday were significant risk factors. Cardiothoracic surgical site infection increased hospital and pediatric intensive care unit length of stay. Deep surgical site infection significantly increased mortality.
