ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of timing for removing the catheter on prognosis in elderly patients with catheter-related bloodstream infection(CRBSI)and on the death-relevant risk factors.Methods 166 elderly patients with vein detaining catheter and a suspected CRBSI in General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from 2010 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into a group(n=80)of removing the catheter immediately and a group(n=86)of temporarily not removing the catheter.Mortality rate within 30 days was compared between two groups and mortality-related factors were analyzed.Results In patients with CRBSI,pathogen culture results showed that the detection rate of gram-positive bacteria(G+)was 40.4% (n=67),the rate of gram-negative bacteria(G)was 40.4%(n=67),and the rate of fungi infection were 19.3% (n =32).The mortality rate within 30 days was 17.5 % in group of removing the catheter immediately,and 31.4% in group of temporarily not removing catheter.The incidence rate of CRBSI in elder patients was also lower in group of removing the catheter immediately versus not immediately(x2 =4.303,P =0.038).Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that tumor and diabetes were independent risk factors for death in elder patients with CRBSI (OR =2.805,2.502;P =0.017,0.019).Tumor was a relative risk factor for patients who died after removal of catheter immediately (x2=4.033,P =0.045).Conclusions Removing the vein detaining catheter immediately is an urgent need when the suspected CRBSI symptoms such as chill and hyperpyrexia appear in elderly patients with vein detaining catheter.Nephrotic syndrome,hypoalbuminemia,tumor,diabetes and antibiotic usage>7 days are risk factors for mortality in CRBSI patients.
