Researchers hunt for clues to prevent dangerous Post-Surgery infections

NCT ID NCT04773457

Summary

This study aims to understand why some patients develop infections after surgery by examining differences in their immune cells. Researchers are comparing 220 patients undergoing gastrointestinal or spine surgery to see if specific immune cell patterns predict infection risk. The goal is to gather knowledge that could eventually help identify patients at higher risk before surgery occurs.
