20241 citationOpen accessKampala International University

Abstract

The post-caesarean SSI rate at Mubende Regional Referral Hospital is notably high, with key risk factors including unstable referral status, obstructed labor, prolonged labor, chorioamnionitis, and prolonged premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Administering preoperative antibiotics 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to surgery is linked to a reduced risk of SSI.
