Commas
suggestion

"Pericardial abscesses are rare, with incidence rapidly decreasing after the development of broad-spectrum antibiotics. They can occur in people of any age but are more likely to occur in older adults. The risk of developing a pericardial abscess is increased in individuals with certain underlying conditions, such as infections, trauma, surgery, or other medical conditions, such as cancer or autoimmune disorders 1,2."

Line 3:312 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The prognosis for pericardial abscess depends on the underlying cause of the infection, the extent of the infection, and the overall health of the patient. With appropriate treatment, the prognosis is generally good. However, untreated or inadequately treated pericardial abscess can lead to serious complications, such as pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium), heart failure, and death 5."

Line 55:221 · Use the Oxford comma in 'However, untreated or inadequately'.
