Abstract

Background: Hospital-acquired pneumonia(HAP)and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) were affected multiple problems such as increased length of hospital stay, multiple drug resistance, multiple antibiotics used, increased morbidity and mortality.
Objective: The aim of this study was scope the relationships between risk factors for hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia in internal medical intensive care patients.
Materials and methods: The study was retrospective study by collecting data in patients aged 18 and over who were admit over 48 hours in internal medical intensive care units by selecting a sample of 361 people who were admitted to the internal medical intensive care units inSisaket hospital. Data collection conducted during October 2020 -September 2021. The collecting data consisted of medical records of patients in internal medical intensive care units and Him-pro program in Sisaket hospital.
Results: The study found that the length of hospital stayed in HAP and VAP and the length of hospital stay in the group without HAP and VAP were significantly different. The incidence of hospital-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia was significantly higher than patients who were hospitalized greater than or equal to 8 days. The correlation study using Cox proportional hazard model demonstrated that patients with sepsis had increased risk of hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia. (HRAdj 1.9, 95%CI 1.1-3.4). Patients with obesity (BMI> 25 kg/m2) had increased risk of hospital-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia (HRAdj 1.8, 95% CI. 1.1-2.9). The use of clindamycin while admitted to the hospital will increase the risk of lung infection in hospital infections and pneumonia associated with ventilators( HR Adj1.8, 95% CI 1.2-2.7 ). The use of penicillin reduced the risk of hospital-associated sepsis and ventilator-associated pneumonia ( HR Adj 0.6, 95%CI 0.4-0.9).
Conclusion: The use of penicillin in hospitalized patient reduced the risk of hospital-associated sepsis and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The patients with underlying disease nephrotic syndrome, septicemia, BMI more than 25 kg/m2 were increased the risk of hospital-associated sepsis and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
