Analysis of nosocomial infection and risk factors in lung transplant patients: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infection is the leading cause of short-term mortality after lung transplantation. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and risk factors of infection in Chinese lung transplant recipients.

Methods

A total of 107 lung transplant patients from 2016 to 2020 were included in this study. The basic data of patients were collected, combined with clinically relevant physiological and biochemical indicators and laboratory test results. Transplant patients with new infections 48 hours after surgery were included in the infected group, and the rest were in the Uninfected group. The risk factors of postoperative infection were analyzed between the two groups.

Results

A total of 107 patients were included in the study, including 89 males and 18 females. All
