The bundle consisted of four elements: antibiotic prophylaxis according to local guidelines, no hair removal, normothermia and 'hygiene discipline' in the operating room (i.e. number of door movements). Dutch hospitals were advised to implement the bundle and to measure the outcome. This study's goal was to assess how effective the bundle was in reducing SSI risk.enArchived with thanks to PloS oneAgedFemaleGuideline AdherenceHumansLogistic ModelsMaleMiddle AgedNetherlandsPatient Care BundlesRetrospective StudiesRisk FactorsSurgical Procedures, OperativeSurgical Wound InfectionArticlePLOS One 2017, 12(9):e0184200
