Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) screening and infection risk factor analysis in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHOD: A total of 210 patients treated in the ICU of our hospital were enrolled as the study subjects, and were divided into the MDRO group (n=100 cases) and the non-MDRO group (n=110) according to the presence or absence of MDRO infection after examination of the pharyngeal swabs. The pathogens of MDRO infection and drug resistance were analyzed. The single-factor as well as multifactor logistic regression analysis of MDRO infections were carried out and the 30-d mortality rate, hospitalization time and treatment costs were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSION: ICU mechanical ventilation, arterial and intravenous intubation, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, concurrent chronic lung disease and chronic cardiovascular disease are the independent risk factors for MDRO infection.
