Evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical site infection in spinal trauma(version 2024)
Spinal surgical site infection(SSI),especially deep SSI after internal fixation is difficult in treatment,with long course of disease and poor prognosis.At present,there are many controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI,with unsatisfactory overall efficacy of its diagnosis and treatment.Besides,no diagnosis and treatment guideline based on evidence-based medicine has been in existence.To this end,the Spinal Infection Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Spinal Infection Group of the Spinal Surgery Branch of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association jointly organized relevant experts to formulate Evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical site infection in spinal trauma(version 2024)based on an evidence-based approach.A total of 10 recommendations were proposed on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI,so as to provide a clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI.
