Overview

Retrospective cohort study investigates complications in deep neck infections, highlighting risk factors and needs for timely intervention.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with complications in deep neck infections.
  • Retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥ 15 years diagnosed with DNIs from January 2017 to December 2021.
  • Data on demographics, comorbidities, symptoms, infection sites, microbiology, treatment, and outcomes were analyzed.
  • Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of complications.
  • Complications occurred in 16.4% of patients, with airway obstruction at 7.1% and sepsis at 4.9%.
  • Significant independent predictors of complications included parapharyngeal space involvement (OR 43.3), anemia (OR 37.4), and fever (OR 6.1).
  • Involvement of multiple spaces (OR 7.98) and submental space (OR 5.5) also increased complication risk.
