Risk Factors and Consequences of Postoperative Urinary Tract Infections in Patients with Traumatic Cervical Cord Injury: A Retrospective Analysis
We found that 52.9% of patients experienced UTIs within 90 days postoperatively. The risk factors for UTI occurrence included the severity of paralysis, indwelling catheter, and poor improvement in the perioperative nutritional status. Early interventions with intermittent catheterization, appropriate antibiotics, and nutrition might be suggested for patients with severe cervical SCI and malnutrition.
