Surgeon's Performance in Predicting Postoperative Infections

A prospective non-interventional study is performed to collect surgeons' predictions on the risk of a patient developing a postoperative infection within 30 days of surgery. Surgeons are asked to fill in a short questionnaire asking about the estimated infection risk. The actual outcome (infection \< 30 days of surgery) of a patient will be collected retrospectively after completion of the study. This study will have no effect on standard care: surgical interventions and postoperative care will be carried out according to standard clinical practice. Besides a one-time estimate of the surgeon, immediately after the surgical procedure, no other interventions will be performed and surgical specialists will carry out their normal post-surgical care, including screening and treating (if necessary) their patients for postoperative infections.
