Puerperal infection is used to describe any bacterial infection of the reproductive tract after delivery. Identifying the factors affecting postpartum infections can reduce the risk and complications of such factors and postpartum maternal mortality.
This structured study was designed to evaluate factors affecting postpartum infections.
In this study, after selecting Scopus, PubMed, SID, and Web of Science electronic databases, all observational studies (cohort and case-control) available and published in Farsi and English to investigate factors affecting postpartum infections were searched. The search was performed using the terms postpartum, infection, wound infection, puerperium, reason, risk factor, and their equivalent Persian words from 2010 to November 2019 regardless of publication status.
Out of the 3227 studies obtained, 19 were reviewed after removing irrelevant articles, duplicates (shared in databases), and animal samples. Age, level of education, delivery method, presence of episiotomy, anemia due to postpartum hemorrhage, interventions and manipulations during childbirth, prenatal hygiene, Povidone Iodine usage before delivery to wash the vagina, antibiotic prevention, increased labor duration, obesity, and the presence of bacteria were common symptoms affecting postpartum infection.
In this study, the factors affecting postpartum infection have been identified, some of which are avoidable. Identifying these factors helps reduce postpartum infections and their complications.
产褥期感染是指分娩后生殖道的任何细菌感染。确定影响产后感染的因素可以降低这些因素的风险和并发症，以及产后产妇死亡率。
本研究旨在评估影响产后感染的因素。
本研究中，在选择 Scopus、PubMed、SID 和 Web of Science 电子数据库后，搜索了所有可获得的、以波斯语和英语发表的研究产后感染影响因素的观察性研究（队列和病例对照）。检索词包括产后、感染、伤口感染、产褥期、原因、危险因素及其波斯语等价词，检索时间为 2010 年至 2019 年 11 月，不考虑发表状态。
在获得的 3227 项研究中，在排除不相关的文章、重复（在数据库中共享）和动物样本后，对 19 项进行了综述。年龄、教育程度、分娩方式、会阴切开术、产后出血引起的贫血、分娩期间的干预和操作、产前卫生、分娩前使用聚维酮碘冲洗阴道、抗生素预防、产程延长、肥胖和细菌存在是影响产后感染的常见症状。
本研究确定了影响产后感染的因素，其中一些是可以避免的。确定这些因素有助于降低产后感染及其并发症的风险。
