          Abstract

          Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance represents a key method of nosocomial infection control programs worldwide. However, most SSI surveillance systems are considered to be poorly cost effective regarding human and economic resources required for data collection and patient follow up. This study aims to assess the efficacy of using hospital discharge databases (HDDs) as a routine surveillance system for detecting hip or knee arthroplasty-related infections (HKAIs).
