Blood products: a significant risk factor for long-term catheter-related bloodstream infections in cancer patients
1University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Section of Infection Control, Houston 77030, USA.
Abstract:
Data obtained from a previous prospective randomized study in cancer patients conducted at our institution were analyzed to investigate risk factors for catheter-related (CR) bloodstream infections (BSIs). Our recent analysis showed that the administration of blood products through central venous catheters was a risk factor for CR BSI, whereas thrombocytopenia during catheterization may have provided protection against CR BSI, as did central venous catheter insertion under maximal sterile barrier precautions
