Background: Phlebitis is a frequent complication of peripheral intravenous therapy, yet prospective evidence from district-level hospitals in Vietnam remains limited. This study aimed to determine the incidence of phlebitis and identify associated factors among inpatients at Tan Binh District Hospital.
Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study using convenience sampling was conducted among 511 adult inpatients receiving peripheral intravenous therapy from December 2023 to August 2024. Each participant contributed one PIVC for analysis. Phlebitis was assessed daily for up to 96 hours using the Visual Infusion Phlebitis scale, with a VIP score ≥ 1 considered phlebitis. Associated factors were examined using Firth’s penalized logistic regression.
Results: PIVC-associated phlebitis occurred in 58 of 511 evaluated PIVCs (11.35%); 81.0% of cases were Grade 1-2, and no Grade 5 phlebitis was observed. In multivariable analysis, age ≥ 60 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.20, 95% CI: 1.59-6.42, p = 0.001), previous intravenous infusions ≥ 3 times (aOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.02 - 4.10, p = 0.045), cubital fossa insertion (aOR = 9.31, 95% CI: 1.14 - 76.34, p = 0.038), and vasoactive drug infusion (aOR = 6.98, 95% CI: 1.23-39.59, p = 0.028) were associated with phlebitis.
Conclusion: The incidence of PIVC-related phlebitis at Tan Binh District Hospital was 11.35%, with most cases being mild. Among patient-related factors, older age and repeated previous intravenous infusions were independently associated with phlebitis. These findings may help identify patients who require closer PIVC monitoring.
