Analysis of risk factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in diabetic foot

Objective To explore the risk factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in diabetic foot. Methods 136 patients with diabetic foot were divided into infection group (n=12) and control group (n=124) according to whether Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection existed. Their age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and complications were recorded, and their hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), two hours postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (GHbA1c), cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipid (LDL), high density lipid (HDL), serum albumin (SALB) were detected. Logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the risk factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Results Incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in diabetic foot was 8.8%. Among them, the infection incidences of elderly patients and patients with diabetic nephropathy were 11.6% and 12.7%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that male, advanced age, BMI, duration of diabetes, history of heart disease, diabetic nep
