Prevalence and predictors of peripherally inserted central catheter-associated bloodstream infections in adults: A multicenter cohort study

Abstract

Our results indicated that risk factors associated with PBSI included the number of catheter lumens, the use of PICCs for chemotherapy, and the hospital length of stay. Furthermore, PBSI-related death was common in patients undergoing chemotherapy, diabetics, and elderly patients.
