Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of antibiotic -impregnated shunt catheters in hydrocephalus shunt. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients with hydrocephalus shunt surgery in our hospital during the period from May 2011 to August 2016. Based on the types of catheters, patients were divided into common conduit (not AISCs group) and antibiotics infiltrating pipe groups (AISCs group). All patients were followed up for 6 months after shunt surgery. The diversion and infection was recorded. Results The data of 193 patients with hydrocephalus shunt were analyzed, including 124 cases of non-AISCs group and 69 cases of AISCs group. Compared with non-AISCs group,the incidence of postoperative infection of AISCs was significantly decreased(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of shunt and reoperation between the two groups (P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in the rupture, displacement and exposure of the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion ASICs can effectively reduce the incidence of hydrocephalus shunt infection.
