Abstract：Obj ective:To probe into the risk factors of PICC catheter re-lated infections and improve the clinical medical security.Methods:A to-tal of 353 PICC patients with complete data were collected and they were divided into infection group (30 cases)and not infection group (323 ca-ses)according to whether catheter related infections occurred or not. Single factor analysis was used to investigate differences in risk factors of catheter related infections,and further Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent risk factor of catheter related infec-tions.Results:Two groups of single factor analysis showed that patients in infection group had old age and long tube time,the ratio of diabetes history,application hormone,puncture≥2 or more times,guided by ultra-sound and operator experience<50 times were higher than that in non infection group and all differences were statistical significance (all P<0.05). The albumin level of infection group was lower than that in non infec-tion group,and the difference was statistical significance (P<0.05 ). Multi factor analysis of two groups data showed that the age,tube time, diabetes history,application of hormone,puncture≥2 or more times,op-erators’experience<50 times in infection group were higher than those in non infection group (P< 0.05).Conclusion:Old age,long tube time, diabetes history,application of hormone,puncture≥2 or more times and operators’experience<50 times were the independent risk factors of catheter related infections.
