ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of nosocomial infection (NI) of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).MethodsClinical data of SCI patients hospitalized in our hospital from Jan 1999 to Dec 2004 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe NI rate of SCI patients was 27.78%, and the highest was in summer (33.09%), the lowest was in winter ( 22.41 %). The most common infection sites were urinary tract (71.07%), followed by respiratory tract (14.72%).ConclusionSCI patients are susceptible to NI; prevention and control measures should be taken to decrease the NI rate.
