Listen up, folks, we’ve got something huge here!
We did an incredible study, the best, really, on infections after lung cancer surgery. We’re talking about thoracoscopic radical resection – that’s a big deal, believe me. We looked at 130 patients, and let me tell you, we did it right. We had criteria, approvals, the whole nine yards.
Now, we checked for infections with the best tests, the most beautiful data collection you’ve ever seen. And our analysis? Only with the top-notch SPSS, version 27.0, no less. We’re not playing games here!
What did we find? Big things. If your surgery goes over 3 hours, if you’re not using antibiotics, if you’ve got diabetes, or if your CRP and PCT levels are through the roof – you’re at risk. But, if you use antibiotics, it’s like a shield – fantastic protection.
So, what’s the bottom line? Long surgeries, diabetes, high CRP, high PCT – bad news for infections. Antibiotics – your best friend. We’re giving you the keys to the kingdom here, folks. Use this knowledge, make surgeries great again, and keep those infections away!
