Comparison of risk factors associated with sepsis between road traffic injuries and non-road traffic injuries in ICU patients with severe trauma
Journal Title: Journal of Acute Disease - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: To estimate the incidence and related risk factors of sepsis between road traffic injuries (RTIs) and non-RTIs. Methods: Clinical data of 339 patients with severe trauma who were admitted into ICU in both Third Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University and ChongGang General Hospital from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty items of potential risk factors affecting sepsis were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Logistic Analysis with the purpose of drawing a comparison between RTI patients and non-RTI patients. Results: There were 154 cases of RTI and 185 cases of nonRTI entering the study period. The significant independent risk factor of sepsis in RTIs was SOFA≥11 (OR=4.821; 95% CI=1.901-12.226; P=0.001). The significant independent risk factors of sepsis in non-RTIs were SOFA≥11 (OR=12.410; 95% CI=2.559-60.185; P=0.002), tracheal intubation (OR=8.913; 95% CI=2.322-34.206; P=0.001), APACHE II 15 (OR=3.684; 95% CI=1.750-7.753; P=0.001). Conclusions: The clinical medical personnel should not give equal treatment to RTI patients and non-RTI patients admitted in ICU in that factors predicting sepsis within above two groups are different. The sample volume should be increased and validated in further prospective research.
