Abstract: Objective To analyze risk factors of nosocomial infections in cancer patients after undergoing radiotherapy. Methods A total of 1 000 tumor patients receiving radiotherapy were chosen as the study objects. The related factors of nosocomial infections were analyzed. Results Out of 1 000 tumor patients, there were 68 cases with nosocomial infections, accounting for 6. 8％, and the infections were mainly located in respiratory tract (29. 41％), and lungs (26. 47％). Age≥65, diabetes history, hospital stay≥30 d, Ⅲ to Ⅳ stages of TNM classification, simultaneous radiotherpy and chemotherapy, and invasive operation (PICC) were found to be risk factors of nosocomial infection (P ＜ 0. 05 or P ＜ 0. 01). Conclusion Risk factors of nosocomial infections are varied. Hence the prevention and control measures should be taken correspondingly to decrease the hospital infection rate.
