SSI after Gynecologic Cancer Surgery Increased morbidity and mortality in ovarian cancer Organ/space SSI 1.5-fold increased risk of death Superficial SSI 1.7-fold increased risk of death Increased Costs 30-day median costs for endometrial cancer at Mayo: $9500 per Superficial; $20,000 per Organ/Space SSI Pay for Performance: CMS reports institutional data and allows patients to compare hospital performance Bakkum-Gamez, et al. Gynecologic Oncology. 2013. Tran, et al. Gynecologic Oncology. 2014. Anderson, et al. Inf Control Hosp Epi. 2007. 2015 MFMER slide-3
SSI Causes are Multifactorial Age Obesity Malnutrition Cancer Diabetes Immunosuppression ASA score Disease severity Prior operations Prior chemotherapy Prior radiation Biologics Nasal/skin carriage Virulence Adherence Inoculum Host Factors Endogenous flora Surgical procedures Surgical Team & Hospital Practice Incision site Wound classification Procedure duration Hemostasis Drains/foreign bodies Dead space Urgency of surgery Razor shaves Intraoperative contamination Prophylactic antibiotics Preoperative cleansing Surgeon s skill Surgical volume 2015 MFMER slide-4
Turning to the SSI Reduction Bundle Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) implementation Not shown to effectively lower SSI rates Bundle: a set of evidence-based practices that, when performed collectively and reliably, have been proven to improve patient outcomes Common elements: hair removal, normothermia, glycemic control, gown and glove change www.ihi.org Hawn, et al. Ann Surgery. 2011. 2015 MFMER slide-5
SSI Reduction Bundle Several small scale studies have shown SSI reduction with the synergistic effect of a bundle Colorectal Surgery at Mayo: SSI reduction bundle for entire surgical episode Overall SSI baseline 9.8% 4% (p<0.05) Superficial incisional SSI: 4.9% 1.5% (p<0.05) Revolus, et al. Obstet Gynecol. 2014. Waits, et al. Surgery. 2014. Cima, et al. JACS. 2013. 2015 MFMER slide-6
Quality Improvement Project Design Multidisciplinary Approach Case inclusion criteria: Type 2 laparotomies for ovarian cancer with and without bowel resection and uterine cancer Data Sources: Mayo Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC), NSQIP, CPT, ICD-9 Codes Goal: Reduce SSI rates by 50% 2015 MFMER slide-7

Overall SSI Rates by Month Pre-intervention SSI rate of 5.9% decreased by 74.6% to 1.5% during intervention period (p=0.01) 2015 MFMER slide-9
SSI Rates per Procedures Overall reduction of 74.6% (p=0.01) Odds ratio reduced from 1.59 to 0.6 Procedure Pre-Intervention Intervention P Reduction Ovarian cancer without BR Ovarian cancer with BR 13/275 (4.7%) 1/105 (1.0%) 0.12 78.7% 12/116 (10.3%) 2/44 (4.5%) 0.35 56.3% Uterine cancer 14/269 (5.2%) 0/50 (0.0%) 0.14 100% All 39/660 (5.9%) 3/199 (1.5%) 0.01 74.6% BR = Bowel Resection 2015 MFMER slide-10
SSI Reduction per Infection Type Superficial incisional SSI 12/660 (1.8%) 1/199 (0.5%) 72% reduction (p=0.32) Deep incisional SSI 2/660 (0.3%) 0/199 (0%) Organ/space SSI 25/660 (3.8%) 2/199 (1.0%) 74% reduction (p=0.05) 2015 MFMER slide-11

Limitations, Strengths, and Future Interventions Element driving risk reduction in bundle unknown Independent audit of SSI by IPAC Strong team champions from each specialty Future interventions to consider: Preoperative oral antibiotics in bowel resection Prophylactic Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Nasal MRSA screening Hendren, et al. Annals of Surgery. 2013. Cannon, et al. Diseases of the Colon & Rectum. 2012. Lewis, et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2014. Matsubara, et al. Surgery Today. 2014. 2015 MFMER slide-14
In Summary Risk factors for SSI are multifactorial and often non-modifiable Implementing a bundle of evidence-based practices resulted in significant and sustained SSI reduction Future study in cost:benefit analyses necessary Preoperative oral antibiotics, NPWT, and MRSA screenings are additional areas for exploration 2015 MFMER slide-15
