Summary: | Purpose
The incidence and risk factors of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in patients with intestinal failure (IF) have not been established, partly because catheter management methods vary from different facilities. This study aimed to identify the risk factors and incidence rate of CRBSIs in patients with IF who were given prophylactic treatment.
Methods
Sixteen patients with IF who required home parenteral nutrition were enrolled in this study. Prophylactic management of CRBSI included monthly ethanol lock therapy and standardized infection prevention education. The outcomes included the incidence and risk factors of CRBSI.
Results
The median incidence rate of CRBSI was 1.2 per 1000 catheter days. Univariate analysis showed that the risk of developing CRBSI was significantly associated with short bowel syndrome ( |
