Risk Factors and Pathogens of Wound Infection in Burn Inpatients from East China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infection is the predominant contributor to morbidity and mortality in burn patients, and burn wound infection (BWI) is the most common reason. The objective of this research was to analyze the incidence, factors and progression of BWI, in terms of events and bacteria.

Methods

Clinical variables of all qualified patients admitted to burn wards were analyzed retrospectively in 2021 at a tertiary hospital in eastern China through univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression. The Kaplan-Meier method was also used for plotting survival curves. Isolates and resistance data were evaluated to demonstrate the evolution of targeted antibiotics of strains from BWI.

Results

A total of 580 (median age, 39.5 years (23-56 years); 372/580 (64.14%) male) patien
