The aim of this study was to compare active and passive surveillance methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 296 patients who were admitted to Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd from 2018 to 2020. Surveillance for signs of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) was done using passive (via pamphlet) and active (by telephone) methods in two months. Among 296 patients, SSI was seen in 67 patients (22.6 %). The frequency of SSI in active and passive methods was 65 (24 %) and 2 patients (8 %), respectively. Significant difference was seen between two care methods (p<0.05). According to these findings, the active care method was superior to passive method in diagnosis of SSI. Therefore, this method can be used for early detection of infection to reduce complications.

Various factors are effective in reduction or increase of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). This study was designed to investigate the effective factors on ESR in adults participating study in Yazd in Iran. In this study, the data in cohort study was used. The variables of age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), alcohol consumption, smoking, infection, inflammation, cancer, and blood pressure were collected. There is a significant relationship between age, sex, systolic blood pressure, BMI, physical activity, joint and heart pain, osteoporosis and smoking history with ESR. Cancer history and diastolic blood pressure variables have no significant effect on ESR values. Results showed that ESR levels in an adult population are generally affected by age and sex.
