No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Neurosurgery (NS) is essential for the treatment of various diseases such as malignant tumors, vascular conditions, spinal stenosis or trauma. However, NS can be complicated by the onset of infections, directly related to surgery or to hospitalization.

Little is known regarding the epidemiology, the optimal treatment regimens and the outcome of infections following NS (I-NS).

The study aims at investigating the clinical and microbiological characteristics as well as the outcomes of I-NS occurring at a single Institution (IRCCS Neuromed, Pozzilli, Italy) during the period 2016-2018.

Patients with at least 1 infective episode requiring antimicrobial therapy are included in this retrospective observational study.
