What are the Common Areas of Research in Surgical Epidemiology?
Surgical epidemiology covers a broad spectrum of research areas, including:
Surgical Site Infections (SSIs): Investigating the incidence, risk factors, and prevention of infections that occur post-surgery. Postoperative Complications: Studying the various complications that can arise after surgery, aiming to mitigate these risks. Outcome Measures: Evaluating the success rates of different surgical procedures and the long-term outcomes for patients. Access to Surgery: Examining disparities in access to surgical care based on demographics, geography, and socio-economic status.
