与注射毒品者的伤口和皮肤感染相关的风险因素可能在芬太尼和现在的兴奋剂共注射时代发生了变化。我们评估了675名在注射器服务计划中注射毒品的人中注射部位伤口和皮肤感染的数量及其相关因素。在这个样本中，173名参与者报告了总共307处伤口和皮肤感染。与伤口和皮肤感染数量增加相关的重要因素是年龄30岁或以上，女性，曾经无家可归，可卡因注射和注射5至10年。伤口和皮肤感染在注射器服务方案的客户中很常见，并与某些可能有助于设计有效干预措施的风险因素有关。鉴于注射器服务项目客户伤口的高患病率，伤口护理临床医生可以发挥重大作用并改善结果。我们还阐明了注射毒品者伤口和皮肤感染的相关性，以促进进一步研究，为这一服务不足的群体制定有效的干预措施。
Risk factors associated with wounds and skin infections amongst persons who inject drugs may have changed in the era of fentanyl and now stimulant coinjection. We assessed the number of injection site wounds and skin infections and associated factors amongst 675 persons who inject drugs in a syringe services programme. Of this sample, 173 participants reported a total of 307 wounds and skin infections. Significant factors associated with increased number of wounds and skin infections were age 30 or older, female gender, ever experiencing homelessness, cocaine injection, and injecting between 5 and 10 years. Wounds and skin infections were common amongst syringe services programme clients and are associated with certain risk factors that may help to design effective interventions. Given the high prevalence of wounds in syringe services programme clients, wound care clinicians can make a significant difference and improve outcomes. We also shed light on correlates of wounds and skin infections in persons who inject drugs in order to spur further research to devise efficacious interventions for this underserved group.
