The article summarizes the control strategy by discussing the risk factors of nosocomial infections in the nephrology department. A survey of hospitalized patients from January 2020 to December 2020 showed that there are six types of bacteria that can cause infections. The age of the patient, the risk of invasive surgery, the low use of antibiotics, and age are all independent factors that affect the risk of nosocomial infections in the patient. The more antibiotics used, the better the infection prevention effect. Among the many risk factors for patient infection, bacterial infection is the main risk factor. Klebsiella pneumoniae infection rate was the highest, 33.98%; Staphylococcus aureus infection rate was the lowest, 6.80%. Therefore, the nephrology department should focus on strengthening the prevention of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, and implement early prevention and management interventions for various risk factors.
