Article Synopsis
  • Outpatient management of febrile neutropenia (FN) in pediatric cancer patients has shown to be as safe and effective as inpatient care, prompting this cost-minimization analysis (CMA) in Mexico.
  • The study analyzed data from 117 FN episodes, finding that outpatient management resulted in an average savings of $1,087 per episode, equating to a 92% reduction in total costs compared to inpatient treatment.
  • The findings suggest that outpatient care is more cost-effective, supporting its implementation in the Mexican public health care system for managing FN in children with cancer.

Impact of intermittent versus continuous infusions on central line-associated bloodstream infection risk in haemato-oncology patients: a quasi-experimental study.

J Hosp Infect

September 2024

Infection Control Program and WHO Collaborating Centre, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland; Infection Antimicrobials Modeling Evolution (IAME) U 1137, INSERM, Université Paris-Cité, Paris, France. Electronic address:

Background: Continuous fluid infusions delivered between therapies by piggy-back systems avoid disconnection and reconnection of central venous catheters (CVCs), thereby reducing opportunities for line contamination. However, the impact of continuous versus intermittent infusions on central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) is unknown.

Aim: To investigate the effect of temporary infusion interruption and line disconnection, with or without use of a 70% isopropyl alcohol cap (IPA-C) on CLABSI rates in haematology patients.
