Figure 5

The forest plot shows shows that colorectal resection patients with an ASA score of 3 or higher are more likely to have SSIs. The red squares represent each study’s odds ratio (OR), with the size reflecting its meta-analysis weight. The 95% odds ratio CIs are horizontal lines next to the red squares. The diamond at the bottom of the plot shows the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI, which summarizes the combined effect of all studies. ASA scores of 3 or above were positively correlated with SSIs following colorectal resection [34,44,52,55].
