Implication

Systematic review assesses prevalence and risk factors of Catheter-related bloodstream infections in hemodialysis patients, indicating significant health concerns.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the prevalence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) and identify risk factors in hemodialysis patients.
  • Conducted a systematic literature review of studies on CRBSI in hemodialysis patients.
  • Pooled prevalence data using random effects model with CMA software.
  • Screened 1850 studies, narrowing down to 12 studies for final analysis.
  • The pooled prevalence of CRBSI among hemodialysis patients was 22.8% (95% CI 0.117 to 0.397).
  • Regional prevalence was 17.5% in Asia (95% CI 0.046 to 0.483) and 30.4% in Africa (95% CI 0.240 to 0.376).
  • Identified risk factors included immunocompromised status, hypertension, diabetes, previous catheter insertion, and prolonged hospital stays.
