Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The objective of the scoping review will be to understand and describe risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) in an orthopaedic surgery population in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa. This paper describes the protocol that will be used for the scoping review.
UNASSIGNED: A comprehensive literature search will be conducted using MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase and Cochrane Libraries to identify articles meeting the inclusion criteria, including both published and grey literature, in order to provide a broad overview of the reported risk factors associated with patients who have undergone an orthopaedic surgery with an outcome of SSI within 90 days of a procedure. Additional studies will be sourced by exploring the reference list of included eligible studies. By using a combination of the Population, Exposure, Outcome framework, terms and synonyms related to each category, in different variations, along with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) in the search strategy, identified comprehensive and relevant literature for the scoping review.
UNASSIGNED: It is anticipated the results will provide a baseline of risk factors that will inform the development of a risk assessment tool for clinical use.
UNASSIGNED: This protocol will inform the development of a scoping review to describe factors associated with SSIs following orthopaedic surgery in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa.

摘要：
■范围审查的目的是了解和描述撒哈拉以南非洲和南非骨科手术人群中与手术部位感染（SSI）相关的危险因素。本文介绍了将用于范围审查的协议。
■将使用MEDLINE（PubMed）进行全面的文献检索，CINAHL(EBSCO)，Embase和Cochrane图书馆确定符合纳入标准的文章，包括出版文献和灰色文献，为了广泛概述已报告的与接受骨科手术并在手术后90天内发生SSI的患者相关的危险因素。其他研究将通过探索纳入的合格研究的参考列表来获得。通过使用人口的组合，曝光,成果框架，与每个类别相关的术语和同义词，在不同的变化中，以及布尔运算符(AND，OR,不是)在搜索策略中，为范围审查确定了全面和相关的文献。
■预计结果将提供风险因素的基线，为临床使用的风险评估工具的开发提供信息。
■该协议将为制定范围审查提供信息，以描述撒哈拉以南非洲和南非骨科手术后与SSIs相关的因素。
