Risk factors for catheter-related bloodstream infections in a high-risk cancer patient population
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
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.
