Meaningful risk-adjusted infection rates for rectum surgery are currently available from 10 Swiss hospitals for the current period. A total of 396 patients were followed in these hospitals. The average hospital infection rate for rectum surgery is 15.5%.
Bürgerspital Solothurn (Solothurner Spitäler AG) has the lowest risk-adjusted infection rate for rectum surgery (3.8% hospital-acquired infections). The following 3 hospitals / clinics have significantly better results (i.e. lower infection rates) for rectum surgery:
2 hospitals show significantly worse results for rectum surgery (i.e. higher infection rates). The
Spital Sursee (Luzerner Kantonsspital) has even highly significantly worse results for rectum surgery. The highest infection rate observed in a hospital for rectum surgery is 94.4%.
Measured as the ratio of expected and observed numbers of infections after certain types of surgery.
Strengths:
Infections are risky and associated with more distress. A low infection rate is an indicator of good hygiene and a high quality treatment process. The infection rates are risk adjusted by Swissnoso using three additional measurements. This elaborate form of risk adjustment fulfills high scientific standards.
Limits:
Unfortunately, infection rates are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, infection rates are only meaningful when a sufficient number of cases is reached. Especially with interventions with a low risk of infections the needed number of cases is very high and is only reached by large hospitals. For small hospitals it is often not possible to give a meaningful statement (while small case numbers are per se unfavorable, especially with complex interventions).
During the planned gallbladder operation (routine operation/stay 2-3 days), the rectum was perforated and peritonitis resulted, which was followed by 1 emergency and 2 follow-up operations and, as a result, a 4-week rehabilitation stay was necessary
