CONCLUSION
• The prevalence rate is comparably lower as compared to studies in other low to mid- income countries but higher compared to high income countries
• Identified risk factors were dirty classification of wound, emergency surgery, exposure to radiation and steroid use, and peripheral vascular disease
• Other risk factors were not considered statistically significant, probably due to sample size
• This study can serve as basis for other observational studies and surveillance studies, and can be used as evidence for recommendations for institutional perioperative protocols
