Analysis on risk factors of antibiotic related diarrhea occurrence in elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD treated by non-invasive ventilator
Objective To explore the risk factors of antibiotic related diarrhea occurrence in elderly pa-tients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated by non-invasive vent-ilator.Methods The clinical data of 248 elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD treated in this hos-pital from June 2020 to June 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The univariate and multivariate logistic re-gression were used to analyze the influencing factors for the patients with antibiotic related diarrhea occur-rence.Results Among 248 elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD,49 cases (19.76%) developed antibiotic related diarrhea.The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age≥70 years old,non-invasive ventilator treatment time≥7 d,broad-spectrum antibiotics use,antibiotic treatment time≥7 d,hospitalization duration≥10 d and severe illness condition were the risk factors for anti-biotic related diarrhea occurrence in the elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (P<0.05),while the daily disinfection of ventilator tubes and masks was a protective factor (P<0.05).Conclusion The inci-dence rate of antibiotic-related diarrhea in the elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD treated by non-invasive ventilator is high,which is closely related to the age of patients,ventilation time,ventilator pipe-line and mask disinfection,antibiotic use time,whether using broad-spectrum antibiotics,hospitalization dura-tion and severity of disease condition.
