A Meta-Analysis to Derive Population-Based Quality Benchmarks of the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection after Lower Limb Revascularization Surgery

The reported incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) after lower limb revascularization surgery varies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based studies reporting the incidence of SSI in adults who underwent these surgeries in high-income countries to derive SSI quality benchmarks.
