A single-center study on epidemiology, microbial distribution, and mortality predictors in catheter-related bloodstream infections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are an important cause of mortality, and increased healthcare costs. The study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, microbial distribution, and predictors of 28-day mortality in CRBSI cases at a tertiary hospital from 2021 to 2023.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 142 confirmed CRBSI cases identified among 4297 blood culture specimens. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, microbial pathogens, and patient outcomes were analyzed. Logistic regression was applied to determine independent predictors of 28-day mortality.

Results

From 2021 to 2023, a significant decline was observed in the incidence of CRBSIs (P < 0.05). The median patient age was 57.0 years, and the median interval from ca
