1.Risk factors for multidrug-resistant organism pulmonary infection in elderly patients
Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2015;(10):701-703,707
Objective To evaluate risk factors for multidrug-resistant organisms(MDRO)pulmonary infection in elderly patients in a hospital, and provide scientific basis for prevention and control of MDRO infection. Methods 188 elderly patients who developed pulmonary infection between August 2010 and December 2012 were divided into MDR group (n=95)and non-MDR group (n=93)according to sputum bacterial culture results,clini-cal data of two groups of patients were analyzed.Results 102 strains of MDROs were isolated from patients with MDRO pulmonary infection,the top three were Acinetobacter baumannii (31 .37%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25.49%),and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (15.69%).Univariate analysis showed that 7 risk fac-tors for MDRO pulmonary infection in elderly patients were history of cerebrovascular disease or dementia,hy-poproteinemia,dysphagia,bedridden,history of ICU hospitalization,recent application of 3,4-generation cephalo-sporins,and invasive procedures.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypoproteinemia (OR,6.02 [95%CI ,1 .50-24.18]),invasive procedures (OR,6.55 [95%CI,1.69-25.44]),and bedridden (OR,6.03 [95%CI, 1.92-18.91])were independent risk factors for MDRO pulmonary infection in elderly patients.Conclusion Multiple factors contribute to MDRO pulmonary infection in elderly patients,comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken against the risk factors,so as to prevent and control MRDO pulmonary infection in elderly patients.
2.Study on different levels of biochemical indexes in adult health examinees
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;38(2):200-203
Objective To investigate the metabolism of blood glucose and lipid levels in health examination of adults from Hain-an district,Wuhai city,Inner Mongolia and to discuss the preventive and health protection measures.Methods 1 395 adults receiv-ing health examination were enrolled.The glucose and lipid were tested and analyzed.Results The levels of glucose and triglyceride in males were significant higher than that in females,P <0.05.The differences of abnormal rates of each index between male and fe-male,among different age groups were statistically significant,P <0.05 as well.The overall level and abnormal rate of each index increased gradually with age(except HDL-C with irregular fluctuations),P <0.05.Conclusion There are certain abnormal rates in blood glucose and blood lipid levels in those examinees and the rates tend to increase with age.Effective health education needs to be strengthened and the preventive and treatment measures should be set up.
