摘要：
The current study suggests the need for routine post-discharge surveillance to improve reliability on surgical site infection incidence rates. Surveillance only during hospitalization may not provide precise data on the incidence of surgical site infection, underestimating a true postoperative infection rate. (c) 2007 Excerpta Medica Inc.
