A Meta-analysis of risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage,and then to provide references for policy-making.Methods Relative literature of crosssectional or case-control studies about risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage was searched by computer in data bases such as CNKI,VIP,CBM,WanFang Data and PubMed from January of 1994 to October 2014.Resluts A total of 22 studies (2 case-control studies and 20 crosssectional studies) were brought into the study.The risk factors' OR and its 95％CI was 2.64(2.10-3.33) for over 60 years of age,2.05(1.56-2.69) for smoking history,3.07(2.24-4.19)for those who have diabetes,3.36 (2.40-4.70) for those who have chronic pulmonary diseases,1.54 (1.16-2.05) for those who have heart diseases,2.38 (1.83-3.08) for those who have a history of stroke,5.07 (3.15-8.16) for disorder of consciousness,2.78(2.36-3.27) for amount of bleeding over 30ml,2.85(2.22-3.66) for deviated from midline,2.58 (1.60-4.17) for breaking into ventricle,2.05(1.67-2.51) for high level of fasting blood sugar respectively,and so on.Conclusions Prophylactic measures can be carried out according to the risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage,and then to reduce the incidence rate of pulmonary infection.
