Objective  To explore the risk factors of catheter-associated bloodstream infections ( CRBSI) in intensive care unit ( ICU) of primary hospital.
Methods  A total of 623 patients with central venous catheters were recruited in the study. 60 of themsuffered fromCRBSI served as an observation group and other 563 cases without CRBSI served as control. Univariate analysis was used to scan possible risk factors. Then logistic regression analysis was used to exclude the confounding factors.
Results  The overall incidence rate of CRBSI was 9. 63% ( 60 /623) . There were significant differences in APACHE score, type of catheter, location of catheter, duration of central venous catheter, intravenous nutrition, use of steroid, times of intubation, urgent intubations, nutritional status, diabetes, and MODS between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed that higher APACHE score, double-lumen catheter, femoral vein catheter, catheter indwelling more than two weeks, intravenous nutrition, intubation more than 2 times, and emergency intubation were risk factors of CRBSI.
Conclusions  Higher APACHE score, double-lumen catheter, femoral vein catheter, catheter indwelling more than two weeks, intravenous nutrition, intubation more than 2 times, and emergency intubation were major risk factors of CRBSI in ICU of primary hospital.
