Study warns of 40 million deaths from drug-resistant infections by 2050

Sydney Morning Herald — September 17, 2024, 04:01 AM UTC

Summary: A new global study warns that nearly 40 million people could die from drug-resistant infections by 2050. This analysis highlights a potential return to a time when minor infections and routine surgeries could be deadly due to ineffective antibiotics.

The study, published in The Lancet, indicates that drug-resistant infections will also indirectly cause an additional 169 million deaths. While child fatalities from these infections have decreased, deaths among those over 70 have surged by 80 percent since 1990.

The findings come ahead of a UN meeting on antimicrobial resistance, where countries will be encouraged to commit to reducing deaths from these infections by 10 percent by 2030.

I'm replacing the original 8-factor scoring system with a new and improved one. It doesn't use the original factors and gives much better significance scores.
