Abstract
Introduction: We conducted the study that had the objective to determine the risk factors of nosocomial infections of surgical wounds in the maternity wards of public hospitals in Lubumbashi.Method: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study whosea study population consisted of women whose delivery was associated with surgery, including cesarean section or episiotomy. Data collection was carried out in a comprehensive manner and a case of nosocomial infection in surgical wounds was defined according to WHO definition. The factors were assessed by the value of prevalence ratio in percent significance level 0.05< by binary logistic regression.
Results: We obtained 443 cases of surgical procedures including 253 cases or 57.1% of caesarean sections and 190 or 42.9% episiotomies and prevalence of nosocomial infections of surgical wounds was 9.9%. The risk of nosocomial surgical site infection was 7 times higher at the hospital of the National Society of the Congo railway and 5.0 times at General Hospital Jason Sendwe reference that the General Referral Hospital Kenya(p=0.0022). Unmarried had twice the risk of developing the nosocomial infections of surgical wounds that married (p=0.0022). The long hospital stay lasting more than 10 days (p =0.0010), Cesarean delivery(p =0.0481), The parturient carrying the indwelling catheter(p =0.0162) and the use of antibiotics were associated with the occurrence of nosocomial infection in surgical wounds.
Conclusion: We must improve the hygienic conditions of maternity and apply a good political use of antibacterial agents.
