Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSIs) are a common, frequently preventable complication of central venous catheterization.

A simpler definition, central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), is recommended for surveillance purposes. Because exclusion of all other infection sources is difficult, CRBSI cases may be overestimated by using the CLABSI definition. METHODS A retrospective obser...
