Using Telemedicine to Diagnose Surgical Site Infections in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Systematic Review

Using Telemedicine to Diagnose Surgical Site Infections in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Systematic Review

Although this is explored by Nguhuni et al [3] and Aiken et al [5], Pathak et al [4] do not comment upon this. A potential consequence of these biases is the low reported incidence of SSIs across the three studies (6.3% [4], 7.9% [5] and 12% [3]), of which 93% were reported as superficial. This is markedly lower than the SSI incidence reported in the Global Surg 2 study [24], which found LMICs to report an average SSI rate of 14-23.2%, with 81.1% being superficial.
