Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery
Abstract
IN discussing the impact of "antimicrobial technology" on our society, McDermott and Rogers noted that the greatest effect of modern antibiotic therapy may be its influence on the evolution of modern surgery.1 It would be difficult to imagine cardiac, vascular, or orthopedic surgery as we know it today in a world without antimicrobial agents.2 Because vital host defenses, including the skin, the cough reflex, and the mucous membranes, are impaired during major surgical procedures, such operations provide opportunities for exposure to potential pathogens.3 In this environment, antimicrobials play a central part in the treatment of both wound and nonwound infections. . . .

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.
