Impact of Infection on Survival Outcomes in High-Grade Gliomas: A Retrospective Analysis of 26 Cases in Our Fifteen-Year Experience—Janus Faced Phenomenon

These findings underscore the heterogeneity of infection-related outcomes and their potential impact on survival in HGG patients. According to our knowledge, our study is one of the largest retrospective studies to date investigating and confirming the significant relationship between SSIs and HGG patients' survival. Our results confirm the Janus Face phenomenon of infections, having both negative and positive effects depending on the context.
