The relationship between nosocomial infection and the factors, such as constituent ration in the infections parts, time in hospital, age and contact history separately were analyzed.ResultsOut of the 1014 patients, 291 cases were infected (the rate was 29%). The main site was in the respiratory system (276 cases, 94.8%). Among that, 73.2 % in upper respiratory tract and 21.6% in lower respiratory tract. The infection of digestive canal was only 7.6 %. The nosocomial infection rate in children under 1, 1～3, and above 3 years old were 44.6%, 37.8% and 27.5% respectively. The rate of those with contagious contact history was 31.6%, significantly higher than the ones without contact history (9.1%) (P≤0.05). There was no significant difference between infection rate and the time in hospital.ConclusionThe nosocomial infection is related to the age, contagious contact history, hospital environment and body nutritional situation, but not with time in hospital.
