Randomized interventional study shows reduced catheter-related infections in chronic kidney disease patients, indicating benefits of pharmaceutical care.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effect of pharmaceutical care on infection control in hemodialysis patients.
Randomized interventional study with intervention and non-intervention groups.
Utilized culture-guided antibiotic locks and 3M Tegaderm for dressing.
Conducted safety medication checks including blood-pressure monitoring.
Significant reduction in catheter-related bloodstream infections in the intervention group (p=0.0001).
Infection rates decreased from 0.64 to 0.20 per patient in the intervention group after 6 months.
No significant change in the non-intervention group, which increased from 0.66 to 0.71 per patient.
