Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify controllable treatment-environment-related factors affecting the timing of a central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) onset in children with cancer with central venous catheters (CVC).
Design: This study is a secondary data analysis with the data extracted from electronic medical records in a tertiary hospital in South Korea. This study was conducted by reviewing electronic medical records of 470 pediatric cancer patients younger than the age of 18 years from 2010 to 2016.
Method: The timing of a CLABSI onset was identified through the onset of CLABSI and the duration of catheterization. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to estimate the impact of variables on the timing of CLABSI onset. The duration of catheterization was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Finding: Multivariable analysis by Cox proportional model analysis showed that there are six independent variables affecting the timing of a CLABSI onset: length of stay in hospital, catheter insertion location, use of antibiotics on day of catheter insertion, catheter function, number of blood transfusions per 100 days, and number of blood tests per 100 days.
Conclusions: The findings of this study provide a foundation for the development of EBP-based CVC guidelines to effectively reduce CLABSIs and maintain a long-term CVC without a CLABSI.

Due to low compliance by bedside nursing with a central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention bundle and increased CLABSI rates, a mandatory re-education initiative at a 1200-bed university-affiliated hospital was undertaken. Despite this, 2 units, housing high-risk immunocompromised patients, continued to experience increased CLABSI rates. A quality improvement before-after project design in these units replaced bedside nursing staff with 2 nurses from the vascular access team (VAT) to perform central vascular access device (CVAD) dressing changes routinely every 7 days or earlier if needed.

Nosocomial infections are a frequent and serious problem in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. Donor human milk (DHM) is the best alternative for feeding these babies when mother's own milk (MOM) is not available. Recently, a patented prototype of a High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) pasteurizer adapted to a human milk bank setting showed a lesser impact on immunologic components.

Background: Most surveillance systems for catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are based on manual chart review. Our objective was to validate a fully automated algorithm for CRBSI and CLABSI surveillance in intensive care units (ICU).
Methods: We developed a fully automated algorithm to detect CRBSI, CLABSI and ICU-onset bloodstream infections (ICU-BSI) in patients admitted to the ICU of a tertiary care hospital in Switzerland.

Objective: To evaluate the comparative epidemiology of hospital-onset bloodstream infection (HOBSI) and central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI).
Design And Setting: Retrospective observational study of HOBSI and CLABSI across a three-hospital healthcare system from 01/01/2017 to 12/31/2021.
Methods: HOBSIs were identified as any non-commensal positive blood culture event on or after hospital day 3.

Background: Central-venous-line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. As there is large variation in the reported effect of multi-modal preventive strategies, it could be relevant to propose new additional strategies.
Aim: To assess the impact of a new perfusion system on CLABSI rate.
