Patterns of infectious complications and their implication on health system costs after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: Real-world data from three European centers
Infectious complications after esophagectomy are predominantly associated with the presence of Enterococcus and Candida species, leading to increased health system costs. Preventive antibiotic and antimycotic treatment might result in reduction of infectious complications and lower health system costs.
