Abstract

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) account for 20% of healthcare-associated 
infections, significantly impacting patient outcomes and healthcare costs. While antibiotic 
prophylaxis is established for SSI prevention, real-world adherence to guidelines remains 
inconsistent. This study evaluated antibiotic prophylaxis practices and their association with 
SSI rates in abdominal surgeries.
