Indwelling time of peripherally inserted central catheters and incidence of bloodstream infections in haematology patients: a cohort study

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2022
Background We aimed to assess whether longer indwelling time of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) increases risk of central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in haematology patients.

Does continuity in nursing staff matter? A pilot study on correlation of central line-associated bloodstream infections and employee turnover

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2021
Background Understaffing has been previously reported as a risk factor for central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). No previous study addressed the question whether fluctuations in staffing have an impact on CLABSI incidence.

The effect of the multimodal intervention including an automatic notification of catheter days on reducing central line-related bloodstream infection: a retrospective, observational, quasi-experimental study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background A central venous catheter (CVC) is an important medical device, but it could be preceding infection and the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI).

The clinical impacts and risk factors for non-central line-associated bloodstream infection in 5046 intensive care unit patients: an observational study based on electronic medical records

Critical Care, 2019
Background Most of the previous studies focused on central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), while non-central line-associated bloodstream infection (N-CLABSI) was poorly studied. This study was performed to investigate the clinical impacts

Gram-negative central line-associated bloodstream infection incidence peak during the summer: a national seasonality cohort study

Scientific Reports, 2022
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) cause increased morbidity, mortality, and hospital costs that are partially preventable. The phenomenon of seasonality among CLABSI rates has not been fully elucidated, but has implications for ...

Central-line associated bloodstream infections at a tertiary care hospital

Journal of Integrated Health Sciences, 2017
Introduction: The Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are the bloodstream infections where central line was in situ for more than 48 hours from the time of event and the line was in place on the date of event or before that and are ...
