Catheter-related infections in neonatal intensive care units: a prospective multicentre surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods A prospective surveillance including all neonates with CVC hospitalized in level 3 NICU is ongoing since 2007. Data are collected using standardized forms validated by a referent physician. Incidence rates (IR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated as the number of CLABICS divided by the cumulative number of catheter-days at risk. Risk factors were assessed using adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) in Cox regression.
