ABSTRACT
Objective:To systematically evaluate the risk factors of implantable venous access port-related bloodstream infections and provide basis for prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infection in tumor patients.Methods:The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, CBM, Chinese and English Clinical trials Registry (ChiCTR) were searched to collect the literature on risk factors for implantable venous access port-related bloodstream infections in tumor patients from the establishment of the database to April 2022. Two evaluators independently screened and extracted the obtained literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for quality evaluation. Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software and Stata SE/MP(14.0 version).Results:A total of 13 studies were included, including 23 related risk factors. Among them, prolonged use of catheters, palliative treatment, hematological tumors, neutropenia, hospitalized patients, and chemotherapy were risk factors for implantable venous access port-related bloodstream infections in tumor patients, with statistically significant differences ( OR values ranging from 0.26 to 8.77, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The long time of catheter use, palliative treatment, hematological tumor, neutropenia and chemotherapy were the risk factors of implantable venous access port-related bloodstream infection in patients with tumor, Medical personnel should make a good assessment and strengthen health education to minimize the chances of infection and effectively reduce the incidence of infection related to the infusion port.
