TL;DR
This study identifies risk factors for catheter-related bloodstream infections in cancer patients and suggests that catheter site selection can help reduce infection risk.
Contribution
The study identifies specific risk factors for CRBSI in high-risk cancer patients and highlights the protective effect of jugular catheter insertion.
Findings
Neutropenia, transplants, and multiple catheters increase CRBSI risk.
Jugular insertion is associated with a lower risk of CRBSI.
Catheter site selection can be a strategy to reduce infection risk.
Abstract
To identify risk factors for catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in cancer patients, we compared 200 CRBSI cases to 400 controls. Neutropenia, transplants, multiple catheters, blood products, and basilic/cephalic PICCs increased CRBSI risk, while jugular insertion was protective. Catheter site selection can reduce risk. Other targeted strategies are warranted.
