Abstract

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children with catheter-associated bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to Escherichia coli and/or Klebsiella. Risk factors for poor outcome (ie, death or recurrence of infection) were receipt of mechanical ventilation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.6 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.39-16.30]) and receipt of total parenteral nutrition (aOR, 3.5 [95% CI, 1.1-10.8]). A significant proportion of children with catheter-associated BSI were treated successfully without catheter removal.
