Objective To study the clinical features, short-term prognosis and risk factors of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa) infection in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods This study enrolled patients hospitalized for AECOPD in ten tertiary hospitals of China from September 2017 to July 2021. AECOPD patients with P.aeruginosa infection were included as case group, AECOPD patients without P.aeruginosa infection were randomly selected as control group from the same hospitals and same hospitalization period as the patients in case group, at a ratio of 2∶1. The differences in basic conditions, complications, clinical manifestations on admission and in-hospital prognosis between the two groups were compared, and the risk factors of P.aeruginosa infection were analyzed. Results A total of 14007 inpatients with AECOPD were included in this study, and 338 patients were confirmed to have P.aeruginosa infection during hospitalization, with an incidence rate of 2.41%. The in-hospital prognosis of AECOPD patients with P.aeruginosa infection was worse than that of the control group, which was manifested in higher hospital mortality (4.4% vs. 1.9%, P=0.02) and longer hospital stay [13.0 (9.0, 19.25)d vs. 11.0 (8.0, 15.0)d, P=0.002]. In terms of clinical features, the proportions of patients with cough, expectoration, purulent sputum, dyspnea in the case group were higher than those in the control group, and the inflammatory indicators (neutrophil ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood gas were higher than those in the control group, while the serum albumin was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Parkinson's disease [odds ratio (OR)=5.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.43 to 18.49, P=0.012], bronchiectasis (OR=4.97, 95%CI: 3.70 to 6.67, P<0.001), invasive mechanical ventilation (OR=2.03, 95%CI: 1.23 to 3.36, P=0.006), serum albumin<35 g/L (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.04 to 1.88, P=0.026), partial pressure of carbon dioxide ≥45 mm Hg (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.01 to 1.90, P=0.046) were independent risk factors for P.aeruginosa infection in AECOPD patients. Conclusions P.aeruginosa infection has a relative high morbidity and poor outcome among AECOPD inpatients. Parkinson’s disease, bronchiectasis, invasive mechanical ventilation, serum albumin below 35 g/L, partial pressure of carbon dioxide ≥45 mm Hg are independent risk factors of P.aeruginosa infection in AECOPD inpatients.
