- This study examines central catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBIs) at a tertiary care hospital over two years, focusing on complications caused by various bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus (SA).
- Among 254 patients, 14% experienced complications such as suppurative thrombophlebitis and endocarditis, with risk factors including prolonged bacteremia, hemodialysis, and infections by SA.
- The findings suggest that patients with persistent bacteremia, especially those with SA and on hemodialysis, require thorough monitoring for potential complications to improve outcomes.
