Abstract:
Objective To investigate the factors associated with hospital infection in old inpatients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods 368 old inpatients with Alzheimer's disease were reviewed and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results There were 95 cases (25.81%) suffered in hospital infection to 116 case-times. As multivariate regression analysis, activities of daily living (OR=8.398, 95% CI: 5.343~12.098), invasive intervention (OR=2.842, 95%CI: 1.445~3.365), no insight (OR=4.457, 95%CI: 2.789~8.853), long-term use of antibiotics (OR=3.348, 95%CI: 1.693~6.336), chronic in bed (OR=3.258, 95%CI: 1.583~6.154), and antipsychotic drug (OR=2.243, 95%CI: 1.427~5.583) increased the risk of hospital infection independently, and ventilated timely (OR=0.546, 95%CI: 0.334~0.867) reduced the risk. Conclusion Good performance of basic and living nursing, less invasive intervention, reasonable use of antibiotics, antipsychotic monitoring,and intensive sterilization may reduce the incidence of hospital infection in inpatients with Alzheimer's disease.
