Introduction: The prevalence of catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) is high and is a severe health problem associated with an increase in mortality and elevated economic costs. There are discrepancies related to the risk factors of CLABSI since the results published are very heterogeneous and there is no synthesis in the description of all the predisposing factors.
Objective: We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize and establish the risk factors predisposing to CLABSI reported in the literature.
The purpose of this study was to design an algorithm that allows automatic calculation of nursing workload in intensive care units, based on the Nursing Activities Score scale, through a computer program. Three methodological steps were used: (1) Delphi method (group of experts); (2) identification of the correspondence: Nursing Activities Score items-variables in the EHR, namely, standardized terminology, laboratory values, and prescriptions; and (3) weighting of variables independently by a group of experts. Finally, the algorithm of the computer program was tested.
