Risk factors analysis in hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by nonfermentative bacteria / 中国感染与化疗杂志

Objective To analyze the risk factors of hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) caused by nonfermentative bacteria in ICU.Methods Using binary logistic regression analysis,we reviewed the related risk factors of hospital acquired pneumonia caused by nonfermentative bacteria from January,2002 to May,2006 in ICU of our hospital.Results Univariate regression ana- lysis identified 22 variables associated with HAP,including age,diabetes mellitus,malignant tumor,chronic obstructive pul- monary disease (COPD),smoking,Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score,Acute Physiology and Chronic Healthy EvaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score.Multivariate regression analysis confirmed 6 high risk factors:aspiration,COPD,use of antacids,seda- tive agents,mechanical ventilation and tracheal intubation or tracheostomy.Conclusions Aspiration,COPD,use of antacids, sedative agents,mechanical ventilation,tracheal intubation or tracheostomy are high risk factors associated with HAP.
