The incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections in different central venous access devices: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Direct paired meta-analyses and network meta-analysis were conducted to compare the incidence of catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in different types of central venous access devices (CVADs).

Material and methods

The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane, CNKI and CBM databases were systematically searched from inception to May 31, 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the incidence of CRBSIs across various types of CVADs. Literature screening, data extraction, and risk bias evaluation were all independently conducted by two individuals. Direct paired meta-analyses and network meta-analysis were performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 software, respectively.

Results

A total of five studies were included. Paired meta
