摘要: tified. They were compared with the remaining 542 patients without NFI. In 49 (74%) NFI, cause was infectious; in 9 (13.5%), it noninfectious; and 8 (12.5%), there no apparent cause. After multivariate analysis, only fecal incontinence (odds ratio [OR], 5.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.13-14.5), congestive heart failure (OR, 2.97; CI, 1.53-5.76), pressure ulcers 2.93; 1.19-7.17) independent risk factors for The number of invasive procedures preceding febrile episode a significant predictor infection 3.68; 1.14-9.21). Conclusions: Nosocomial illness is common event elderly hospitalized patients. 74% an found. Measures to decrease infectious NFI require reduction procedures. Arch Intern Med. 1998;158:1560-1565
