Multiple factors affecting perioperative antibiotherapy in minimally invasive lung surgery: a retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During the perioperative period, empiric antibiotic escalation therapy is not uncommon, leading to longer postoperative hospital stay and higher medical expenses.
