The burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasing in the Nepalese population. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains one of the most frequently performed surgical interventions for the management of advanced CAD. Despite this, there is a paucity of data regarding the incidence and determinants of surgical site infections (SSIs) following CABG in the Nepalese context. This study aimed to determine the incidence of SSIs after CABG surgery in the Nepalese population.

Incidence of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
The study aims to assess the proportion of patients developing surgical site infections within the first 30 days after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. SSIs will be identified based on standardized diagnostic criteria, and cases will be classified according to infection depth and site. Data collection will include clinical examination findings, laboratory results, and relevant imaging, ensuring comprehensive identification and categorization of infections.
Time frame: 30 days post-CABG
