Analysis of Nosocomial Infection and Risk Factors in Patients with ECMO Treatment.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate the drug resistance of nosocomial infection-related pathogens in patients who underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), analyzing the nosocomial infection-related risk factors.
methodsThe medical records of 56 patients who received ECMO support treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from January 2013 to December 2019 were selected. The nosocomial infection, pathogen distribution and drug resistance, and the influencing factors of nosocomial infection were analyzed. The predictive value of independent risk factors for nosocomial infection after ECMO was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
resultsA total of 56 patients receiving ECMO treatment were included. The nosocomial infection rate was 28.57%, and the prevalence infection rate was 44.64%. Lower respiratory tract infection was the main infection site. Among these infectious patients, 53 strains of pathogens were detected. The results showed that the gram-negative bacteria were mainly Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumonia. Moreover, the drug resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii to most of the antibiotics was more than 65%, among which the drug resistance rate to carbapenems was 80%. The results of risk factors of nosocomial infection after ECMO were analyzed by univariate analysis, showing that ECMO treatment time, hospitalization time, antibacterial drug use time, ventilator use time, catheter intubation time and central venous intubation time were statistically significant (all
conclusionThe nosocomial infection rate after ECMO was relatively high, and the main pathogens are Gram-negative bacteria. The selection of antibiotics should be based on the results of pathogen drug sensitivity.
