Analysis reveals key risk factors influencing nosocomial infections in cardiac surgery patients, suggesting preventive strategies.

Higher age, obesity, and chronic diseases significantly increase the risk of nosocomial infections after cardiac surgery.
Preoperative conditions like hypoalbuminemia and anemia are critical risk factors affecting infection likelihood.
Intraoperative risk includes prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, blood loss exceeding 2000 ml, and large volume transfusions.
Understanding the pathobiome and endogenous sources of infection may guide future research and preventive measures.

Khomyakova et al. (2025) studied this question.
