Abstract
Objective To analyze prevalence and determinants of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) in peripherally inserted central catheter implanted patients with lung cancer, to create evidence for improved clinical care. Methods A cross-sectional observational study design was adopted. Skin pictures and electronic medical records of 200 lung cancer patients who visited Shanghai Chest Hospital for PICC between June 2017 and September 2017 were analyzed to calculate prevalence of MARSI and identify related factors. Results The prevalence of MARSI was 31.5% (63/200), and mechanical trauma accounted for 50.8% of all cases (32/63). Age, diabetes and anaphylaxis were significantly related to MARSI. Conclusion Analysis of MARSI in PICC implanted patients with lung cancer provided evidence for improved clinical care of such patients. Key words: Peripherally inserted central catheter; Medical adhesive-related; Skin injury
