Optimizing Prevention of Healthcare-Acquired Infections After Cardiac Surgery

Summary

Our Aim is to identify patient risk factors and clinical practices associated with healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) after cardiac surgery.

We will use prospectively collected data housed within the MSTCVS-QC (Michigan Society of Thoracic \& Cardiovascular Surgeons Quality Collaborative) to reveal risk factors that elevate a patient's risk of developing HAIs. The results of this analysis will form the foundation for the development of standardized regional practices to reduce HAIs. We will explore the effect of traditional patient-level measures (age, sex, comorbid conditions), process measures (timing and selection of antibiotics, continuous insulin infusion, transfusions), and surgical practices (use of bilateral internal mammary artery usage among diabetics, vein harvesting approach).
