Contamination 1.170 < 0.001 3.22 (1.74–5.98)
Admission to ICU 1.811 < 0.001 6.12 (3.35–11.16)
NNIS index

ASA 0.742 0.003 2.10 (1.28–3.44)
Surgical time 0.566 0.028 1.76 (1.06–2.92)
SENIC index

ASA = American Society of Anesthesiology; ATI = abdominal trauma index; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit; NNIS = National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance;7,8 RR = relative risk; SENIC = Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control;9,10 SSI = surgical site infection.
