AIM: To understand the hospital infection and explore its risk factors in hospitalized patients with cataract.

METHODS:The medical record information of 68 cases with hospital infection between January 2009 and December 2014 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors of hospital infection in hospitalized patients were analyzed using screening cataract multiariable Logistic regression analysis.

RESULTS:The incidence of hospital infection in hospitalized patients with cataract was 1.37%, respiratory tract infections had the highest incidence in 39 cases, accounting for 57.35%. The results of multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that: sex examination, invasive operation, hospitalization days were risk factors for hospital infection in hospitalized patients with cataract.

CONCLUSION:Hospitalized cataract patients have risk of combined hospital infection, we should strengthen the hospital infection management, strict aseptic operation, for reducing the occurrence of hospital infection.
