Abstract:
Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns.Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study. From January 2018 to December 2022, 260 patients with perineal and/or hip burns and urinary catheters indwelling who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns and Wound Repair of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, including 192 males and 68 females, aged 20-93 years. The total incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns, the detection of pathogenic bacteria, and the resistance of major Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to commonly used antimicrobial drugs in clinic were recorded. According to whether catheter-associated urinary tract infection occurred or not, the patients were divided into infection group (43 cases) and non-infection group (217 cases). The basic conditions including gender, age, total burn area, depth of perineal burn, depth of hip burn, and burn site on admission, complications of diabetes mellitus, inhalation injury, and hypoproteinaemia, invasive operations including tracheotomy and non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, duration of catheter retention, number of urethral catheterization, and bladder irrigation of patients between the two groups were compared, and the independent risk factors influencing the occurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns were screened.Results:The total incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns in this study was 16.5% (43/260). The pathogens detected were predominantly Gram-negative, followed by fungi; the main Gram-negative bacterium was Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the main Gram-positive bacterium was Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, amitraz, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin were higher than 70.0%, the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to cefoxitin, cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefepime, meropenem, imipenem, and piperacillin/tazobactam ranged from 56.3% to 68.8%, and the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to ceftazidime and tigecycline were lower than 50.0%. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to ciprofloxacin and penicillin were both 85.7%, the resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to erythromycin, clindamycin, moxifloxacin, and tetracycline ranged from 14.3% to 57.1%, and the resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to linezolid, tigecycline, and vancomycin were all 0. The differences were statistically significant between the two groups in terms of gender, status of complication of hypoproteinaemia, depth of perineal burn, status of non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, status of bladder irrigation, number of urethral catheterization, and duration of catheter retention of patients (with χ2 values of 7.80, 4.85, 10.68, 9.11, and 16.48, respectively, and Z values of -4.88 and -5.42, respectively, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the age, total burn area, complications of diabetes mellitus and inhalation injury, burn site, depth of hip burns, and status of tracheotomy of patients between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that gender, deep partial-thickness perineal burns, non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, bladder irrigation, and duration of catheter retention were the independent risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns (with odds ratios of 2.86, 2.63, 2.79, 2.34, and 1.04, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals of 1.21-6.73, 1.03-6.71, 1.03-7.59, 1.05-5.22, and 1.02-1.06, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections is high in patients with perineal and/or hip burns, with Klebsiella pneumoniae as the predominant pathogenic bacteria having a high resistance rate to commonly used antimicrobial drugs in clinic. Gender, deep partial-thickness perineal burns, non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, bladder irrigation, and duration of catheter retention are the independent risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns.
