Title: Investigation of influencing factors of urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury during rehabilitation
Abstract: Objective
To explore the influencing factors of urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury in rehabilitation period, so as to provide the basis to minimize urinary tract infection.
Methods
The patients' information and the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) during the rehabilitation period of 503 cases of spinal cord injury admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of UTI in patients with spinal cord injury during rehabilitation period.
Results
The degree of injury, the site of injury, the way of urination, and the course of the disease were the factors affecting the incidence of UTI in the patients with spinal cord injury during the rehabilitation period (P<0.05) .
Conclusions
The degree of injury, the location of injury, the way of micturition and the duration of disease are the influencing factors of UTI in patients with spinal cord injury during rehabilitation. As the course of disease goes on, we need to choose intermittent catheterization as a way of micturition according to the bladder function of patients with spinal cord injury.
