Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial infection (NI) in elder patients with cerebral infarction Methods A retrospective study was performed.Three hundred and two patients over 60 years old with cerebral infarction were selected as our subjects,who were in a cadre ward from Jan.2011 to Jun.2013.The incidence rate of NI and the predisposing factors of NI were investigated.Results Of 302 patients with cerebral infarction,46 cases developed NI and the incidence was 15.23％.The most common site of NI was lower respiratory tract infection,counting for 60.87％ (28/46),followed by urinary tract infection(21.74％ (10/46)).The risk factors of NI included age,prolonged hospitalization,disturbance of consciousness,invasive operation and the use of antibiotics (x2 =5.720,11.517,5.185,4.218,11.931 ; P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The clinical staff should pay close attention to the risk factors of NI in elder patients with cerebral infarction.The methods include controlling the disease as soon as possible,shortening hospital stays,reducing invasive operation and the rational use of antibiotics can reduce the incidence of NI.
