Investigators revealed a 62% higher risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection with prolonged fluoroquinolone exposure. Using advanced machine learning, they pinpointed factors such as age, steroid treatments, and diabetes. This study urges clinicians to reexamine antibiotic protocols to better safeguard cardiovascular health.
Q&A
- What are fluoroquinolones?
- How did machine learning add value?
- What does this mean for clinical practice?
