BACKGROUND: Infection may complicate surgical patients' hospital admission. The effect of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) on processes of care among surgical patients who died is unknown. AIM: To investigate the effect of HAIs on processes of care in surgical patients who died in hospital. METHODS: Surgeon-recorded infection data extracted from a national Australian surgical mortality audit (2012-2016) were grouped into HAIs and no infection. The audit included all-age surgical patients, who died in hospital. Not all patients had surgery. Excluded from analysis were patients with community-acquired infection and those with missing timing of infection. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the adjusted effects of HAIs on the processes of care in these patients. Costs associated with HAIs were estimated. FINDINGS: One-fifth of surgical patients who died did so with an HAI (2242 out of 11,681; 19.2%). HAI patients had increased processes of care compared to those who died without infection: postoperative complications [51.0% vs 30.3%; adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.20; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.98-2.45; P < 0.001]; unplanned reoperations (22.6% vs 10.9%; aOR: 2.38; 95% CI: 2.09-2.71; P < 0.001) and unplanned intensive care unit admission (29.3% vs 14.8%; aOR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.94-2.45; P < 0.001). HAI patients had longer hospital admissions and greater hospital costs than those without infection. CONCLUSION: HAIs were associated with increased processes of care and costs in surgical patients who died; these outcomes need to be investigated in surgical patients who survive.
