TIARA-IMPACT: Immunological and microbiome-based predictors of postoperative infections

Postoperative infections following major abdominal surgery remain common and difficult to predict. A key reason is the incomplete understanding of how individual differences in the gut microbiome, host immunity, and microbial metabolites shape infection susceptibility. Following completion of patient enrollment in the TIARA cohort study, "TIARA-IMPACT" conducts in-depth analyses of [...]

TIARA: The impact of colonization with MDRO in complex surgical patients

Major abdominal surgery in particular is associated with high postoperative infection rates. Despite well-established surveillance systems for surgical wound infections, there is a lack of comprehensive reporting on infectious complications and the impact of the use of anti-infectives during and after surgery. The TIARA project aims to close this knowledge [...]
