Number of Participants With Any Postoperative S. Aureus Surgical-site Infection (SSI-Superficial, Deep Incisional or Organ/Space) Occurred Within 180 Days After Surgery

SSI: infection at a surgical incision. Types of SSI in this outcome measure: Superficial SSI: Infection involved only skin and subcutaneous tissue of the incision, Deep incisional SSI: infection involved deep soft tissues of incision (e.g. fascial and muscle layers), Organ/space SSI: infection involved any part of body, excluding skin incision, fascia, or muscle layers, that was opened or manipulated during operative procedure. Overall number of participants with postoperative SSI (including superficial, deep incisional and/or organ/space SSI) caused by S. aureus, occurred within 180 days after elective open posterior spinal fusion surgery with multilevel instrumentation as confirmed by EAC have been reported.

Time frame: Day of surgery (Day 1) up to Day 180 after surgery

Population: PP efficacy population: all eligible participants, vaccinated as randomized, who underwent surgery per study-defined criteria within 9-90 days (inclusive) post vaccination (expanded from 10-60 days window in protocol), had no infection/malignancy at surgery and had no major protocol violation prior to reporting S. aureus infection.

Number of Participants With Postoperative S. Aureus Blood Stream Infection (BSI) And/or Surgical-site Infection (SSI-Including Deep Incisional or Organ/Space) Occurred Within 180 Days After Surgery

BSI: clinical infection involved a recognized pathogen (S. aureus) cultured from 1 or more blood cultures or a commensal organism cultured from 2 or more blood cultures whether primary or secondary to infection at another site. SSI: infection at a surgical incision. Types of SSI in this outcome measure: Deep incisional SSI: infection involved deep soft tissues of incision (e.g. fascial and muscle layers), Organ/space SSI: infection involved any part of body excluding skin incision, fascia or muscle layers, that was opened or manipulated during operative procedure. Overall number of participants with postoperative BSI and/or SSI (including deep incisional or organ/space), caused by S. aureus, occurred within 180 days of post elective open posterior spinal fusion surgery with multilevel instrumentation, as confirmed by EAC have been reported. A participant may have met criteria for both BSI and SSI (deep incisional or organ/space).

Time frame: Day of surgery (Day 1) up to Day 180 after surgery

Population: PP efficacy population: all eligible participants, vaccinated as randomized, who underwent surgery per study-defined criteria within 9-90 days (inclusive) post vaccination (expanded from 10-60 days window in protocol), had no infection/malignancy at surgery and had no major protocol violation prior to reporting S. aureus infection.
