the 30-day window and was subject to recall bias. Finally, our out- comes may be subject to misclassification. In this study, we have identified that the rate of SSI after
pediatric ambulatory surgery is low, although there may be a substantial additional burden of infectious morbidity related to surgery that is not captured by current surveillance strategies and definitions. Furthermore, given the volume of pediatric ambula- tory surgery, even with a low risk, the overall burden on the population may be very high and should not be ignored.
