Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate risk factors of the death among lung cancer patients with nosocomial pneumonia.METHODS A total of 312 lung cancer patients with nosocomial pneumonia in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS Eighty-seven patients died and remaining 225 patients were cured finally.Risk factors by multivariate analysis were more than 62 years old(OR 1.75,95%CI 1.06-2.98),metastatic disease(OR 9.24,95%CI 5.21-16.17),bacteria/fungi infection(OR 2.31,95%CI 1.15-4.67),and lower serum albumin concentration(OR 1.87,95%CI 1.08-3.13).CONCLUSIONS Older,metastatic diseases,double infections and lower serum albumin concentration are the risk factors correlated with the mortality among lung cancer patients with nosocomial pneumonia.
