This study aimed to evaluate the association of perioperative nursing care (PNC) with the incidence of SSIs and short-term outcomes, comparing patients receiving structured PNC to those receiving standard care.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at [specific location] between January 2016 and February 2019. A total of 360 PLC patients undergoing LS were included and divided into an observation group (PNC) and a control group (standard care). Outcome measures included SSI incidence, length of hospital stay, and independent predictors of SSIs. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify significant factors.Results: Among the 360 included PLC patients, 180 received PNC while 180 did not. Patients in the PLC group had a significantly lower incidence of SSIs (28.3% vs 47.2%, P = 0.026) and shorter hospital stays (median: 8.2 vs 13.3 days, P = 0.049) compared to the control group. Multivariate logistic regression identified PNC as a significant protective factor against SSIs (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.08– 3.85, P = 0.031). Other significant predictors included education level (college or above: OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.24– 0.79, P = 0.006) and comorbidities (more than two: OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.31– 3.76, P = 0.003).Conclusion: PNC emerged as an independent risk factor for SSIs in PLC patients undergoing LS. Thus, the provision of PNC is crucial for reducing the risk of SSIs and improving short-term outcomes in PLC patients undergoing LS.Keywords: perioperative nursing care, PNC, surgical site infections, SSIs, primary liver cancer, PLC, liver surgery, LS
