Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates two methods for diagnosing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in ICU patients: semiquantitative roll plate (SQRP) and differential time to positivity (DTP).
- - SQRP showed high sensitivity (94.7%), while DTP had high specificity (82.5%), and together they achieved 100% sensitivity and negative predictive value.
- - The results suggest that employing both SQRP and DTP methods in tandem could improve the diagnostic accuracy for CLABSIs.
