Objective To investigate the risk factors of infection after radiofrequency ablation in patients with liver metastases after choledochojejunostomy. Methods The clinical data of patients with liver metastases treated by radiofrequency ablation in our hospital from January 2010 to April 2022 were collected retrospectively and analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 57 patients were included in the study, and the total number of postoperative infections was 19 (33.33%). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the tumor location, maximum tumor diameter, number of tumors, ablation times, and ablation duration were related to the occurrence of infection after radiofrequency ablation (P<0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the tumor location [OR=6.45, 95%CI (1.11, 37.35), P=0.037] and ablation duration [OR=1.49, 95%CI (1.16, 1.91), P=0.002] were independent risk factors for infection after radiofrequency ablation in patients with choledocho-jejunostomy. Conclusions For patients with metastatic liver cancer with a history of choledochojejunostomy, the tumor location and the duration of ablation are closely related to postoperative infection. We should strengthen the indivi-dualized management of such patients during and after operation should be strengthened to promote disease recovery.
