Background: The burden of surgical infections in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains poorly defined compared with high-income countries. Although there are common infections necessitating surgery prevalent across the world, such as appendicitis and peptic ulcer disease, other conditions are more localized geographically. To date, comprehensive assessment of the burden of surgically treatable infections or sequelae of surgical infections in LMICs is lacking.

中低收入国家的手术感染：对负担和管理需求的全球评估。

背景：与高收入国家相比，低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）的外科感染负担仍然难以确定。尽管在世界范围内普遍存在需要手术进行的常见感染，例如阑尾炎和消化性溃疡疾病，但其他情况则在地理上更为局限。迄今为止，缺乏对中低收入国家可手术治疗的感染负担或手术感染后遗症的综合评估。
