3. Musculoskeletal infections at the Internal Medicine Department of Hanoi Medical University Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
To identify the causes and contributing elements of musculoskeletal infections, we conducted a descriptive cross- sectional study on 51 patients treated at the General Internal Medicine Department of Hanoi Medical University Hospital from 2022 to 2023. The study patient group had an average age of 58.4 ± 16.2 years, a male preponderance of 64.7%, and an average treatment duration of 11.5 ± 4.4 days. Staphylococcus aureus is the most prevalent bacterium, accounting for 63.6% of infections, in which 66.7% occurred in soft tissues. Crucial risk factors for musculoskeletal infections included immunodeficiency or use of immunosuppressive medications (23.5%), gout (21.5%), diabetes mellitus (11.7%), and healthcare-related complications (9.8%). In order to diminish the susceptibility of infection in the aforementioned subjects, it is essential to implement preventive measures and educate patients.
