Prospective cohort study finds 16% CRBSI incidence in hemodialysis patients, indicating risks associated with catheter types.

CRBSI occurred in 16% of hemodialysis patients, highlighting significant risk factors.
An incidence of 3.73 episodes per 1000 catheter days emphasizes the burden of infection.
Non-tunneled catheters presented a higher risk for CRBSI compared to tunneled catheters, indicating important implications for catheter choice.
Multidrug resistant organisms were responsible for 65.5% of CRBSI, calling attention to the need for effective infection control strategies.

Kandari et al. (2025) studied this question.
