title: [The occurrence of early infections in surgical and orthopedic departments in Czechoslovakia].
abstract: The authors made an epidemiological analysis of early infections (EI) based on a prevalence study conducted in October 1987 in 64 surgical and 29 orthopaedic departments in the CSR, selected at random. A total of 4479 patients were examined in surgical departments, the prevalence of EI in 2415 operated patients was 15.6. In orthopaedic departments 1603 patients were examined, the prevalence of EI in 846 operated patients was 7.2. Early infections were analyzed with regard to the type of surgical wound, geographical distribution, type of operation and its duration, degree of inflammatory affection and time during the postoperative period when it developed. The analysis confirmed a more favourable position as regards EI in orthopaedic departments and indicated the main trends of the fight for their reduction.
