Abstract P6: Validation of a Risk Model for Surgical Site Infections After Breast Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: The Breast Reconstruction Risk Assessment (BRA) Score is a model developed to predict the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) within 30 days after breast reconstruction. This was derived from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, where the average risk of SSI was 3.75%. We aim to externally validate this model in our cohort of patients who have undergone total skin-sparing mastectomy (TSSM) with immediate breast reconstruction.
