Risk factors for 90-day all-cause mortality in post-operative central nervous system infections (PCNSIs): A retrospective study of 99 patients in China
Abstract:Post-operative central nervous system infections (PCNSIs) are serious complications of craniotomy. Many factors, including patient-related, surgical, and postoperative factors, affect the survival of patients with PCNSIs. Timely and effective implementation of antibiotics targeting pathogenic bacteria is crucial to reduce mortality. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has been used successfully to detect pathogens associated with infectious diseases. This study was designed to evaluate the factors in… Show more
