Dual Surveillance of Surgical Site Infections Using CDC and ASEPSIS Criteria: Clinical and Economic Outcomes in Colorectal and Small Bowel Surgery
The ASEPSIS scoring system identified clinically relevant wound disturbances that were not detected by CDC criteria. Dual surveillance revealed additional postoperative morbidity and outpatient burden. Integrating ASEPSIS into routine monitoring may improve wound complication detection and enable earlier interventions.
