Demographic profile, unplanned status and intraoperative situations increase surgical site infection in cesarean delivery: conclusions from a prospective study in central India.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSurgical site infection continues to be a significant source of morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. Data pertaining to incidence and risk factors following obstetric surgeries are scarce. This study aims to identify risk factors and microbiological etiology of SSI in patients undergoing cesarean section in a teaching tertiary care hospital in Central India.
methods450 in-patient women who underwent cesarean for various indications were enrolled for the study and followed up for 30 days. Patients who reported between July 2022 to June 2023 were included in study and analyzed as per CDC definition and methodology. Incidence, risk factors like rural location, patients who are referred, duration of rupture of membrane, timing of prophylactic antibiotic, duration of surgery and microbiological etiology for SSI were noted from data collected.
resultsThe incidence of SSI is 13.7%. Rural location (OR 2.08), low socioeconomic status (OR 3.1), multiparity (OR 3.0), obesity (OR 4.05), emergency status (OR 4.63), increased duration of rupture of membrane (OR 8.3), prolonged labor (OR 11.7) and increased preoperative stay (OR 4.24) due to associated morbidities are the risk factors for SSI identified by univariate logistic regression model. Increase in each hour duration of surgery and inappropriate timing of antibiotic prophylaxis increased the risk of SSI by nearly double.
conclusionRate of SSI in cesarean is 13.7%. Low socioeconomic status, rural locations, emergency status of surgery, long intra-operative period and time of prophylactic antibiotic are major risk factors for SSI in cesarean delivery. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not Applicable.
