Figure 1 Flow chart showing distribution of patients across the different hernia grades and mesh type. A total of 438 patients with clean-contaminated (n = 281) and contaminated (n = 157) wounds were considered for comparative analysis of 30-day outcomes (box with dashed lines). Percentages of patients with different hernia grades and sub-grades are calculated using the total number of patients (N = 2,051) as the denominator. Percentages of patients with PP or BS mesh are based on number of patients in each hernia grade/sub-grade. ABX, antibiotics; AHSQC, Americas Hernia Society Quality Collaborative; BS, biosynthetic mesh; Lap, laparoscopic; LOS, length of stay; PP, polypropylene mesh; VHR, ventral hernia repair.
