| Abstract: | Although there are many studies on catheter-related infection, there are scarce data about the influence of tracheostomy in
the incidence of central venous catheter-related bacteremia (CRB). In this cohort study, we found a higher incidence of CRB
in patients with tracheostomy than without (11.25 vs. 1.43 per 1,000 catheter-days; odds ratio OR] = 7.99; 95% confidence
interval CI] = 4.38–infinite; P < 0.001). Besides, we found a higher incidence of CRB in patients with tracheostomy using the jugular access compared to
subclavian access (21.64 vs. 5.11 per 1,000 catheter-days; OR = 4.23; 95% CI = 1.44–infinite; P = 0.0097). |
