Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

SSI (Surgical Site Infection) rate is an important consideration after emergency laparotomy. SSIs carry a high financial burden for health institutes with the cost of major SSIs after emergency laparotomy to add an additional cost of £10000-£15000 per patient.

NICE has recommended the use of PICO dressings for the reduction of SSI rate as a cost-neutral.

The purpose of this study was to review the current SSI rate, assess the patient risk factors for development of SSIs and evaluate if the use of PICO dressings as per NICE guidelines will reduce the SSI rate.
