日本語

本レビューは、中東・北アフリカ（MENA）地域における気候変動と手術部位感染（SSI）の関連を検討する。気温上昇や水不足が病原体の生存や感染予防策に影響を与え、SSI率が国際基準を超える可能性を示す。しかし、直接的な関連を検証した研究はなく、今後の研究と気候レジリエントな医療インフラの必要性を強調する。

English

This narrative review examines the relationship between climate change and surgical site infections (SSIs) in the MENA region. It synthesizes regional studies and AMR data, suggesting that rising temperatures and water scarcity may exacerbate SSI rates, though direct evidence is lacking. The authors call for climate-resilient health infrastructure and integrated surveillance.

📄 Abstract（原文）

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a driver of healthcare-associated infections, with surgical site infections (SSIs) particularly sensitive to environmental stressors. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region faces accelerated warming, water scarcity, and strained health systems, yet the implications for surgical safety remain insufficiently characterized. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the relationship between climate change and SSIs across MENA countries, focusing on epidemiological trends, pathogen distribution, antimicrobial resistance, and health system resilience. Eleven MENA-specific SSI studies (2022-2025) were synthesised alongside regional AMR meta-analyses. Available data indicate that SSI rates frequently exceed international benchmarks. Rising temperatures, humidity shifts, extreme weather events, and limited water resources may enhance pathogen survival, biofilm formation, and transmission while simultaneously challenging sterilization and infection prevention practices. These pressures intersect with high antimicrobial resistance and fragmented surveillance systems. No published study has directly tested climate-SSI associations within MENA cohorts; the case rests on regional surveillance and extra-regional climate-SSI evidence. SSIs may therefore serve as indicators of climate-related health system strain, highlighting the need for climate-resilient infrastructure and integrated surveillance to safeguard surgical outcomes.
