Impact of early infectious diseases consultation on the management of central line-associated bloodstream infection: a propensity score weighting retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is an important healthcare-associated infection, particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). This study aimed to investigate the impact of early infectious disease consultation (IDC) on the quality of care metrics of CLABSI in patients admitted to the ICU.

Methods

Patients with CLABSI admitted to the ICU were included and divided into early IDC, and late or never IDC groups. The early IDC group indicated patients whose attending physician received IDC within 72 h of CLABSI onset. The main outcomes were the proportion of patients who received optimal targeted antibiotic treatment and catheter removal within 72 h of CLABSI onset. Propensity score analysis with the inverse probability of the treatment weightin
