Complications Associated with Low Position versus Good Position Umbilical Venous Catheters in Neonates of ≤32 Weeks' Gestation.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the incidence of umbilical venous catheter associated infection (UVCAI) in very preterm infants based on UVC tip position.

Study Design: In this retrospective cohort study, infants born at ≤32 weeks were divided into groups with a UVC tip in either a low-lying or good position. The primary outcome was UVCAI.
