Risk factors of recurrent erysipelas in adult Chinese patients: a prospective cohort study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Erysipelas is a common skin infection that is prone to recur. Recurrent erysipelas has a severe effect on the quality of life of patients. The present study aimed to investigate the risk factors of recurrent erysipelas in adult Chinese patients. METHODS:A total of 428 Chinese patients with erysipelas who met the inclusion criteria were studied. The patients were divided into the nonrecurrent erysipelas group and the recurrent erysipelas group. Clinical data were collected on the first episode and relapse of erysipelas. The patients were followed up every 3 months. Statistical analysis was performed to analyze and determine the risk factors of erysipelas relapse. RESULTS:Univariate analysis was performed to analyze the data, including surgery, types of antibiotics administered in the first episode, obesity, diabetes mellitus, venous insufficiency, lymphedema, and malignancy. The differences between the groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis showed that the final risk factors included surgery, obesity, diabetes mellitus, venous insufficiency, and lymphedema. CONCLUSIONS:Surgery, obesity, diabetes mellitus, venous insufficiency, and lymphedema are considered as risk factors for recurrent erysipelas.
