Multi-factor analysis of early pulmonary infections after renal transplantation / 中华器官移植杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To find out the risk factors of early pulmonary infections after renal transplantatioa Methods The data were collected from 96 patients receiving renal transplantation between Oct. 2006 and Oct 2010, including 48 cases of early lung infection after renal transplantation as infection group, and 48 patients receiving immunosuppressive regimen at the same period as-control group. Taking the factors of lung infecition as variables, t test or chi-square test was used in univariate analyses whereas logistic regression was used in multivariate analyses. Results Single factor analysis showed that induction therapy, albumin levels, dose of steroid in 1 month after operation,family income and prophylactic SMZ treatment were related to lung infectioa Analysis of multiple variables logistic regression revealed that induction therapy, albumin levels, dose of steroid in 1 month after operation and prophylactic SMZ treatment were related to lung infection. Conclusion The correlation analysis indicated that induction therapy and dose of steroid in 1 month after operation have positive correlations with pulmonary infection, while albumin levels and prophylactic SMZ treatment have negative correlations with pulmonary infection.
