Abstract:

Objective:To?evaluate?the?effects?of?nosocomial?infection?on?the?prognosis?of?patients?with?acute?myocardial?infarction.Methods:Totally?100?patients?with?acute?myocardial?infarction?were?randomly?chosen?and?divided?into?the?infected?group?(n=48)?and?non infected?group?(n=52).All?patients?were?followed?up?for?one?year?and?were?evaluated?by?survival?analysis.Results:The?mortality?rate?in?the?infected?group?was?24%?while?that?in?the?non infected?group?was?16%,with?significant?differences?(P=0.001).Conclusion:The?risk?of?death?increases?in?acute?myocardial?infarction?patients?complicated?with?nosocomial?infection.
