Maternal Cesarian Section Infection (MACSI) in Sierra Leone

NCT03929991 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1000

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Up to 1 in 5 women in Africa who deliver their baby by cesarean section get a wound infection.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are largely preventable, but they represent a considerable burden for health-care systems, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. The prevention of these infections is complex and requires the integration of a range of preventive measures before, during, and after surgery.

The aim of the proposed project is to determine the risk factors of Surgical Site Infection post-Cesarean Section in women admitted to Princess Christian Maternity Hospital (PCMH) in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Secondary aims are to determine the incidence of SSI and the predictors of a negative outcome in women with post-CS SSI.
