Inappropriate antibiotic use in neurosurgery poses significant threats to global public health. Infections in neurosurgical patients can lead to devastating consequences, complicated by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The CDC reports at least 2.8 million drug-resistant infections annually in the US, resulting in 35,000 deaths. Addressing this issue requires interdisciplinary approaches, engaging healthcare providers, researchers, policymakers, and the public. Understanding factors contributing to antibiotic misuse is essential in safeguarding the future of surgical procedures and protecting patient health.
神经外科领域抗生素的不恰当使用对全球公共卫生构成了重大威胁。神经外科患者的感染可能导致严重后果，而抗生素耐药菌则使情况更为复杂。美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）报告称，美国每年至少有 280 万例耐药感染，导致 3.5 万人死亡。解决这一问题需要采取跨学科的方法，让医疗保健提供者、研究人员、政策制定者和公众共同参与。了解导致抗生素滥用的因素对于保障手术未来和保护患者健康至关重要。
