Racial disparities in central line-associated bloodstream infections: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
This retrospective cohort study analyzed differences in rates of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in Black and White inpatients across 11 southeastern US hospitals from 2019 to 2021. Results showed higher CLABSI rates in Black patients during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, even after adjustment for COVID-19 infection and clinical factors.
