Risk factors and prognosis of acute lactation mastitis developing into a breast abscess: A retrospective longitudinal study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast abscess is developed on the basis of acute mastitis, which will cause damage to the physical and mental health of lactating women and is an important factor affecting the rate of breastfeeding. This study examined the risk factors for mastitis to develop into breast abscess, and analyzed the distribution of pathogenic bacteria, bacterial resistance, and treatment outcome.

Methods

The medical records of 316 cases of mastitis and 219 cases of breast abscess were retrospectively collected. We analyzed the bacterial distribution of mastitis and breast abscess, and compared the differences of bacterial drug resistance. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the following aspects: age, primiparity or not, history of breast surgery
