Abstract:
Objective:To explore the pathogenic characteristics of incision wound infections after breast cancer surgery and related influencing factors.Methods:Clinical files of 200 middle-aged and elderly patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer in the Affiliated Three Gorges Hospital from May 2016 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of pathogenic bacteria and drug sensitivity tests were examined, and the influencing factors of postoperative incision infections after breast cancer surgery were analyzed.Results:Among 200 middle-aged and elderly patients aged 55-75 years who underwent breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer, 13 patients(4.64%)developed postoperative incision infections, with 40 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated, including 14 strains of gram-positive bacteria, 25 strains of gram-negative bacteria and 1 fungal strain.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR=3.40), duration of surgery( OR=2.50), albumin level( OR=2.83), underlying diseases( OR=4.23), preventive use of antibiotics( OR=3.14)and length of hospital stay( OR=2.33)were independent risk factors for postoperative incision infections in breast cancer patients(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Common pathogens of incision infections after breast-conserving surgery are Gram-negative bacteria.There are many factors affecting postoperative incision infections.Clinical measures need to be taken to reduce or prevent postoperative incision infections.
