Objective: To investigate related risk factors and nursing principles of in cancer patients with infection after chemotherapy. Methods: Retrospectively analyzed clinical datas of 134 cancer patients with infection after chemotherapy, investigating the incidence, potential risk factors and nursing principles of the infection after chemotherapy. Results: In all 134 cases, 76 male and 58 female patients, the median age is 59 years old (range from 36 to 82). There are 46 non-small cell lung cancer cases (34.3%), 38 small cell lung cancer cases (28.4%), 19 gastric cancer cases (14.2%), 14 colon cancer cases (10.4%), 8 rectal cancer cases (6.0%) and 9 others (6.7%). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, invasive procedures, PS score and complications incidence are risk factors in cancer patients with infection after chemotherapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that age, invasive procedures, and PS scores are independent risk factors in cancer patients with infection after chemotherapy. Conclusion: Age, invasive procedures, PS score and complications incidence are important risk factors in cancer patients with infection after chemotherapy. |
