Abstract

Background and Objective: In order to meet the costs related to the Surgical Site Infection (SSI) and that they were linked, this research guided the scientific literature was developed with the following objective: to perform an integrative review of literature related to expenses and costs of surgical site infections, or surgical wound, to health systems. Methods: We selected 11 scientific articles available in electronic databases of the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), and Latin American Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), through the portal of the Virtual Health Library (VHL). It is also one of the research methods used in Evidence Based Practice (EBP). Results: It was observed that SAIs are costly to health services, publications in very differ and used methods not specifically describe how the results of the costs were obtained. Conclusion: Thus, other studies adopt an effective and standardized assessment for the collection and calculation of costs are needed to ensure greater reliability of the information obtained. KEYWORDS: Surgical wound infection.Costs and Cost Analysis. Health service.
