Abstract:
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) can result in worse outcomes and high hospitalization cost for patients. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of multi-department cooperation, intelligent prevention, and supervision (MDCIPS) in reducing the incidence of CLABSIs and improving the clinical outcomes of the patients. Key issues were identified through a literature review and survey on the status quo. A MDCIPS model was thus built. A total of 440 patients with indwelling central venous catheters (CVCs) were enrolled in the study. The control group (n = 219) received conventional infection-control managements, while the intervention group (n = 221) received MDCIPS interventions in addition to conventional infection-control managements. The number of CLABSIs patients, incidence of CLABSIs, average length of hospital stay, average total hospitalization cost, and disease outcomes were compared between the two groups. The intervention group had a significant reduction in the number and incidence of CLABSIs (0[0%] vs. 4[1.33%], P < 0.05). Two of the four patients with CLABSIs in the control group died. The average length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the control group than the intervention group (17 days vs. 13 days, P < 0.001). The average hospitalization cost in the control group was much higher than that in the intervention group (92.8 thousand yuan vs. 65.2 thousand yuan, P < 0.001). Patient outcome was improved in the intervention group than the control group (P = 0.001). In summary, the MDCIPS model effectively reduces the incidence of CLABSIs, alleviates the patients' economic burden, and improves the clinical outcomes of the patients.
