Cerebral hemorrhage is a common clinical critical disease, and venous thromboembolism is one of its common complications. How to diagnose and treat venous thromboembolism early is still the main problem in the management of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. This article reviews the concept, pathogenesis, risk factors, evaluation tools, prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Suggestions are put forward on the development of evaluation tools and improvement of prevention and treatment, in order to provide reference for clinical management and related research of patients with cerebral hemorrhage complicated with venous thromboembolism.
Objective To systematically assess the risk factors for the occurrence of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infections in general intensive care units (ICU). Methods A computerized search was conducted to identify literature on the risk factors for MDRO infection in ICUs in the Chinese Biomedical Literature Service system, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from January 1, 2012, to June 1, 2024. The literature meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria was subjected to two-person data extraction and quality evaluation, and then meta-analysis was conducted by using Revman5.4 software. Results A total of 25 articles were included, with a cumulative total of 19 280 patients, including 3 945 patients with MDRO infection (20.5%). Twenty-four risk factors were analyzed, and the difference between 19 of them was statistically significant (P<0.050). The risk factors for MDRO infection included: (1) three general factors: length of hospital stay, ICU length of stay, and APACHE Ⅱ score; (2) seven invasive operation-related factors: mechanical ventilation, duration of mechanical ventilation, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, arterial intubation , length of venous catheterization, ureteral intubation, and urinary catheter retention; (3) four antibiotic-related factors: use of antimicrobials prior to ICU admission, concomitant antimicrobials, antimicrobial species, and duration of antimicrobials use; (4) five factors related to the underlying diseases: hypoproteinemia, pulmonary diseases, combined underlying diseases, number of combined underlying diseases, and mixed infections. Conclusions The current research evidence suggests that multiple factors are associated with the occurrence of MDRO infections in patients in general ICU, which may provide a basis for early screening of patients at risk for MDRO infections by ICU healthcare professionals.
