To investigate the survey and related risk factors of hospital infection of ophthalmology inpatient.

Total of 828 cases of ophthalmology inpatients were divided into infected group (52 cases) and non-infected group (776 cases) from January 2013 to December 2014. The screening risk factors associated with ophthalmic hospital infections in hospitalized patients were analyzed with univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis.

The ophthalmology inpatient hospital infection rate was 6.28% (52/828), the main site of infection was wound infection 3.38% (28/828). The age > 60 years old, summer hospitalization, surgery time, hospital stay ≥ 14 d, multiplayer ward, invasive procedures, contact examination, preoperative antibiotics, diabetes, Ⅱ type incision and operator information < 3 years were related with ophthalmology hospital infections with univariate analysis. The age > 60 years old (OR = 2.995, 95%CI: 1.406-6.383), hospital stay ≥ 14 d (OR = 3.102, 95%CI: 1.267-7.597), diabetes (OR = 3.494, 95%CI: 1.948-6.266), preoperative antibiotics (OR = 4.768, 95%CI: 2.233-10.181), invasive procedures (OR = 5.652, 95%CI: 2.197-14.537) and contact inspection (OR = 6.135, 95%CI: 2.919-12.895) were the independent risk factors for ophthalmology hospital infections in hospitalized patients with Logistic regression.

The ophthalmology hospital infections in hospitalized patients had a higher incidence, which should be strictly strengthed for elderly high-risk groups, such as diabetes management, scientific and rational use of antibiotics before surgery to shorten the hospital stay, which would help reduce ophthalmology inpatient hospital infections.
