Data sources included the hospital infection surveillance system, hospital information system, and a questionnaire for HAIs in patients after cardiac surgery. Patients were divided into an infection group and a non-infection group based on whether they developed HAIs during the postoperative hospitalization period. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors and to develop a risk prediction model. The predictive performance of the model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Independent risk factors for HAIs post-CABG included diabetes (odds ratio [OR]\u202f=\u202f1.467), preoperative white blood cell count (OR\u202f=\u202f0.117), preoperative albumin levels (OR\u202f=\u202f\u22120.146), intraoperative blood transfusion (OR\u202f=\u202f0.001), presence of an indwelling drainage tube (OR\u202f=\u202f0.864), drainage volume (OR\u202f=\u202f0.003), duration of ventilator use (OR\u202f=\u202f0.656), and central venous catheterization time (OR\u202f=\u202f0.103). The predictive model was established as: Ln (P\/1\u2212P)\u202f=\u202f\u22122.230\u202f+\u202f1.467 * diabetes + 0.117 * preoperative white blood cell count \u22120.146 * preoperative albumin + 0.001 * intraoperative blood transfusion + 0.864 * drainage tube indwelling + 0.003 * drainage volume + 0.656 * ventilator use time + 0.103 * central venous catheterization time. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated a good model fit with observed values. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the model achieved an area under the curve of 0.970, with a sensitivity of 90.5% and a specificity of 92.1%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The independent risk factors for HAIs after CABG were diabetes, body mass index, preoperative white blood cell count, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, duration of pericardial and mediastinal drainage tube placement, total drainage volume, duration of mechanical ventilation, and duration of central venous catheterization. The developed risk prediction model demonstrated high accuracy in estimating postoperative HAI risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2025.1605272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]],"date-time":"2025-07-03T05:26:30Z","timestamp":1751520390000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Risk
