Abstract

To investigate the incidence of nosocomial infection in neurology and its related risk factors, and provide evidence for the prevention of nosocomial infection. The clinical data of 863 inpatients in Department of Neurology in our hospital from January 2013 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed to analyze the incidence of nosocomial infection, the site of infection, and the risk factors for infection. There were 42 cases of nosocomial infection in 863 patients, and the infection rate was 4.87%. The most common infection sites were lower respiratory tract, urinary system, gastrointestinal tract, upper respiratory tract, and skin tissue, accounting for 42.85%, 30.95%, and 14.26%, respectively. , 4.76%, 2.38%, etc.; age ≥ 60 years old, alcohol and tobacco history, hospitalization time ≥ 3 d, use of antibiotics> 3 d, tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, indwelling catheter are risk factors for nosocomial infection in neurology department. The incidence of nosocomial infection in patients with neurology is relatively high. The following respiratory tract, urinary system and gastrointestinal tract are common. The risk factors for nosocomial infection are relatively numerous and complex. The hospital needs to carry out targeted interventions to reduce the risk factors of nosocomial infection and the incidence of nosocomial infections.
