June 6, 2007
Lincourt AE, Harrell A, Cristiano J, et al. Journal of Surgical Research. 2007;138(2).
The authors performed a case control analysis of medical records for a 10-year period to identify risk factors associated with retained foreign bodies (RFB). They found that concurrent major surgeries and incorrect instrument and sponge counts played a role in the incidence of RFB at their hospital.
