The risk and outcome of bloodstream infections (BSIs) were evaluated following surgery. BSIs were identified in Helsinki University Hospital during 2009–2014 as part of the national surveillance. Of 711 BSIs identified, 51% were secondary and 49% primary. The rate was highest after cardiovascular surgery (8.7 per 1000 procedures) and lowest after gynaecologic (1.0 per 1000). Surgical site infection was the most frequent source of secondary BSIs (34%) and 45% of primary BSIs were central-line-associated. The 28-day case fatality ranged from zero in gynaecology/obstetrics to 21% in cardiovascular surgery. Besides BSIs related to surgical site infections, half of BSIs were primary, providing additional foci for prevention.
