Abstract

Objective: Knowing factors that impact catheter stay duration is important since removing drainage catheters too early or late can have significant consequences. We present a single center retrospective study that analyzes multiple variables, including abscess size, white blood cell count, and patient age, to see if a correlation between them and duration of catheter stay exists. The inclusion criteria were patients that had abdominal abscesses treated with percutaneous abscess drainage using a pigtail catheter, ≥ 18 years of age, and had available medical images and records. 44 patients were included.

Results: Among white blood cell count, patient age, and abscess volume, the only significant relationship with duration of catheter stay was abscess size (R = 0.42, p-value = 0.0049).

患者年龄、脓肿大小和白细胞计数与腹腔脓肿经皮脓肿引流术导管停留时间的关系。

目的：了解影响导管留置时间的因素非常重要，因为过早或过晚拔除引流导管都会造成严重后果。我们介绍了一项单中心回顾性研究，该研究分析了多个变量，包括脓肿大小、白细胞计数和患者年龄，以了解这些变量与导管留置时间之间是否存在相关性。纳入标准为腹部脓肿经皮脓肿引流术使用尾纤导管治疗的患者，年龄≥18岁，有可用的医学影像和记录。共纳入 44 例患者：结果：在白细胞计数、患者年龄和脓肿体积中，唯一与导管停留时间有显著关系的是脓肿大小（R = 0.42，p 值 = 0.0049）。
