Risk factors analysis and preventive measures for postoperative infection in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignancies
Objective To analyze the risk factors for postoperative infection in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignancies treated in stomatological hospitals,providing a reference for preventing postopera-tive infections.Methods The medical records of patients with oral and maxillofacial malignancies admitted to the Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2020 to January 2023 were collect-ed.Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were performed on relevant factors using SPSS 22.0 statistical software.Results Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in hospital stay,gender,operative time,postoperative drainage duration,and intraoperative blood loss between infected and uninfected patients(P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that postoperative drainage du-ration of 10 days or more and operative time of 6 hours or more were independent risk factors for postopera-tive infection(P<0.05).Conclusion Postoperative drainage duration of 10 days or more and operative time of 6 hours or more are independent risk factors for postoperative infection in patients with oral and maxillofa-cial malignancies.Preventive measures such as early bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests,and monito-ring of albumin levels in the first 3 days after surgery,should be implemented.
