ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of hospital infection for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage ( HIGH). Methods 408 patients from Department of Neurology whose length of stay equaled or exceeded 72 hours and who fitted in with the criterion for the diagnosis of hospital infection were chosen as the HICH infection group while HICH patients without hospital served as the control group. The risk factors for HICH were studied by means of both single factor analysis and multifactor analysis. Results Of more than 30 possible risk factors that were studied by means of single factors analysis, more than 20 manifested marked difference (P < 0.05). Uncondition Logistic regression analysis of the more than 20 variables indicated that rise of inhalation of food resulting from indwelling, stomach tube,kinds of antibiotics used,spray inhalation and fasting blood-glucose,accidental were the risk factors of HICH infection. Conclusion HICH infection results from the synergetic action of various factors and hospital infection could be controlled and reduced by strengthening supervision.
