Abstract

The article assesses the feasibility of using national health registers in the surveillance of postoperative antibiotic use for measuring the incidence of surgical-site infections in Sweden. In monitoring antibiotic purchases by 8,856 outpatients who had inguinal hernia surgery in 2006, it showed that the rate of treatment episodes with antibiotics used for skin and soft tissue infections was 7 times higher in the 1st month after surgery than either 6 months before or 5 months after the procedure, representing a risk difference of 2.4%.
