Sponsor's own description
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of infection associated with epidural catheter and port applications performed in the Pain Clinic of Mersin University Faculty of Medicine. Data from patients who underwent epidural catheter or port placement between January 2002 and January 2025 will be analyzed. Demographic data, catheter duration, insertion level, type of device, clinical indication, and microbiological culture results will be examined to determine factors influencing infection development. The study seeks to identify common pathogens and assess potential relationships between procedural characteristics and infection risk. The ultimate goal of this research is to contribute to improving infection prevention strategies and ensuring patient safety in interventional pain management practices.
