Fig 1 Distribution of the number of days from major vascular surgery procedure to diagnosis of surgical site infection (SSI) for all patients diagnosed with SSI. A diagnosis occurring in the hospital is represented in green; a diagnosis occurring after hospital discharge is represented in yellow.

Supplementary Fig (online only) Predicted vs observed postdischarge 30-day surgical site infection (SSI) rates. The data points represent low- (<16 points), low/moderate- (16-20 points), moderate- (21-25 points), and high-risk (>25 points) groups.
