Sažetak
Estimating the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is laden with challenges, but undertaking this enormous task is crucial for steadfast decisions on resource allocation from a national, regional, and global perspective, as well as for research prioritisation and intervention evaluation. In the global burden of antimicrobial resistance research endeavor there are plenty issues with data gaps and data sparsity, while sepsis and infectious syndrome analytical steps rely on data with incomplete geographical coverage. Data completeness and fidelity are particularly scarce in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Akin to missing essential pieces of a global puzzle, we recognise the importance of ongoing studies to bring estimates like ours closer to the truth, and we call for and enthusiastically welcome any data sources that can improve the estimation process.
