Etiological analysis of infection after CRS + HIPEC in patients with PMP

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the standard treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). It can significantly prolong the survival of patients, but at the same time may increase the risk of postoperative infection. Patients with PMP who underwent CRS + HIPEC at our center were retrospectively analyzed.

Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to explore infection-related risk factors. Among the 482 patients with PMP, 82 (17.0
