Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the independent influencing factors of infection after ventricular-peritoneal shunt (VPS) and to explore the effectiveness of modified VPS in reducing the postoperative infection rate.

Methods

The clinical data of 138 patients with VPS admitted to Neurosurgery Department of First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from May 2015 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into conventional operation group and modified operation group based on whether the modified operation was used surgical procedures, and they were divided into infected group and uninfected group based on whether postoperative infection occurred. The independent influencing factors of postoperative infection were analyzed.

Resusts

Among 138 patients, there were 65 cases in conventional operation group, 73 cases in modified operation group, the postoperative intracranial infection rate in the modified operation group was lower than that in the conventional operation group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.683, P=0.030). 10 cases were infected and 128 cases were uninfected. The results of univariate analysis of the two groups showed that the preoperative albumin level, the use rate of coated drainage tube and the application rate of modified operation in the uninfected group were higher than those in the infected group, the operation time in the uninfected group was less than that in the infected group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative and postoperative albumin level, operation time, whether to use coated shunt tube and whether to use modified operation were independent influencing factors of infection after VPS (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The occurrence of infection after VPS was related to preoperation albumin level, time of operation, hydrophilic coating catheter and modified operation. The incidence of postoperative infection can be reduced by improving the perioperative nutritional status, shortening the operation time, improving the shunt tube and the operation method.
