ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the determinants of average length of stay of three county hospitals and eleven countryside hospitals of Xinjiang province.MethodsRelative data of the county and the countryside hospitals from 2009 to 2010 were collected,and descriptive analysis and rank sum test were employed to explore the determinants of average length of stay.ResultsThe average length of stay of the county hospital was longer than the countryside hospital,the average length of stay had significant differences between the gender,age,and the disease classfication.ConclusionThe average length of stay of the county hospitals and countryside hospitals had difference significantly.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of pathogens of bacterial infection in respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) to provide reference for the prevention of hospital infection. METHODS To collect specimens of the patients received endotracheal intubation from Jan 2006 to Dec 2006 in our RICU,to identify pathogens and drug sensitivity test. RESULTS We isolated 105 pathogenic bacteria from 626 specimens of the 58 patients,the G-bacilli accounted for 64.76%,G+ cocci accounted for 20.95%,fungi accounted for 12.38%; Acinetobacter baumannii was one of the main G-bacilli accounted for 19.05%. Staphylococcus aureus of G+ cocci for 9.52%,and Candida albicans of fungi for 7.62%; from 105 pathogens,65 from the respiratory tract,15 from the for urinary tract,eight from a catheter tube,six from the digestive tract,five from the blood,four from the various drainage tubes and two from the incision secretions. CONCLUSIONS Hospital infection pathogens exist in the respiratory tract infection in hospitalized patients of respiratory ICU with risk factors of age,underlying diseases,time in the intensive care unit,ventilator time and the use of invasive procedures in a certain relationship.
