Abstract
We thank the reader for their thoughtful comments in relation to our study1 and in sharing their experiences in clinical practice. Our study findings have demonstrated the disparity that currently exists between clinical practice and the use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGS) in preventing surgical site infections (SSI). Currently, the Australian Wound Management Association's (recently renamed Wounds Australia) wound care standards reflect the evidence based CPGs as published by the NICE,2 CDC3 and Anderson et al.4
