Incidence of surgical site infection after craniotomy: comparison between three months and twelve months of epidemiological surveillance

Conclusion: The incidence of SSI after craniotomy is high. Reducing the duration of the post-discharge surveillance period from 12 months to 3 months did not cause significant losses in the numbers of SSIs identified or a substantial decrease in their incidence.
