Title: Analysis on nosocomial infection in patients of acute stroke
Abstract: Objective To explore the features and risk factors of nosocomial infection in patients of acute stroke,so as to adopt effective control measure.Method 4 730 hospitalized patients with acute stroke were monitored in our hospital from Jan.1 1997 to Dec.31 2002.Results The incidence of nosocomial infection was 12.52% and female had higher incidence than male(P0.05).The incidence rosed while aging(P0.01).The nosocomial infection often occurred in two weeks after hospitalization.The nosocomial respiratory tract infection was the highest risk factor(47.96%),the second was the urinary tract infection(34.8%).The most common bacteria was gram-negative bacteria(43.09%),the second was gram-positive bacteria(30.91%),the third was fungus (26.00%).Drug-resistant strains had increased.ConclusionsThe main risk factors of nosocomial infection of acute stroke included low immunological function,invasive operations,antibiotic and hormone abuse.So there was urgent need for surveillance of bacterial resistance and reasonable use of antibiotic to reduce or postpone the development of drug-resistant strains.
