Infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde e fatores associados em pacientes transplantados renais em Fortaleza – CE

Abstract

The healthcare-related infections are among the major complications in patients who undergo kidney transplant, by virtue not only of immunosuppression schemes to which they are subjected, as the care carried out by health teams. The aim of this study was to analyze healthcare-related infections in renal transplant recipients in 2012, in the city of Fortaleza, which has consolidated renal transplant services. A cross-sectional study where outpatient records were analyzed, charts and tokens for notification and investigation of patients who performed CCIH kidney transplant in 2012, in HUWC and HGF, institutions with successive records in this type of procedure. A total of 237 attendees, being, 101 (average age: 43.2 years) belonging to the HUWC and 136 (average age: 45.4 years) to the HGF, was included in the study. In both institutions, most people were male, married and resided in the Capital of Ceará. Most of them also had the normal BMI was hypertensive, had as main causes of IRC: inderterminada, SAH and lupus nephritis. The proportion of invasive procedures performed were: graft biopsy (HUWC: 45.54%; HGF: 26.47%), central venous catheter puncture (HUWC: 98.01%; HGF: 97.06%), FAV (HUWC: 66.33%; HGF: 94.11%), and passage of double-J catheter (HUWC: 39.6%; HGF: 22.06%). The estimated prevalence of IRAS in 101 renal transplant recipients at HUWC was 50 (49.05%), and HGF, 31 (22.79%). The most common IRAS, both in HUWC, as in HGF, were urinary tract infections, and the main etiological agents isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. In HUWC, the socio-demographic factors, clinicians and epidemiologists who presented statistically significant association with involvement by IRAS were: the classification of BMI (p<0.03) time on dialysis before transplantation (p<0.05), the total length of stay (p<0.0001), the time of surgery (p<0.001), cold ischemia time (p<0.01), the passage of double-J catheter (p<0.003), the speaking time of TOT (p<0.03) and time of use of the SVD (p<0.04) in HUWC; on HGF, classification of BMI (p<0.04), LES as a cause of IRC (p<0.01), blood transfusion before transplantation (p<0.02), the total length of stay (p<0.001) and time of use of the CVC (p<0.04). Therefore, throughout the perioperative period, there is a need for development of cautious actions throughout the health team, in order to prevent infections and unnecessary government spending with hospitalizations and prolonged treatments, supporting the growth of renal transplantation technique in the State in recent years.
