Abstract

Surveillance criteria for central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are continually being refined to more accurately reflect infections related to central lines. An audit of 567 medical records from adult, pediatric, and neonatal intensive care unit patients with a central line and a positive blood culture showed a 16% decrease in CLABSI rates after the 2013 National Healthcare Safety Network definitions compared with the 2012 definitions.
