Abstract
Little is known about central line-associated bloodstream infection risk factors in the bundle era. In our case-control investigation, we found that independent risk factors for central line-associated bloodstream infection at our center included the number of recent lab tests, catheter duration, and lack of hemodynamic monitoring as the insertion indication. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2014;00(0): 1-3.
