Role of early and extensive surgery in the treatment of severe necrotizing soft tissue infection
Abstract
Forty-two patients with necrotizing soft tissue infection are reviewed. Bacterial culture revealed between two and seven types of micro-organism in each patient. All patients were treated with radical surgical debridement and a combination of antibiotics. In 30 patients, early diagnosis and treatment resulted in only two deaths. Delayed surgical intervention in 12 patients transferred from outside hospitals was followed by nine deaths. Predisposing factors and site of infection did not affect outcome. Of 26 patients with systemic manifestations of sepsis, 16 survivors responded well to initial surgical debridement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
