A retrospective examination of risk factors for central line‐associated bloodstream infections in home parenteral nutrition patients from a Queensland tertiary hospital
In this cohort of patients, regular opioid use was associated with increased risk of developing CLABSI. Based on our findings, an empiric antimicrobial regime of vancomycin, cefepime and caspofungin will provide adequate coverage for most HPN-related CLABSIs in Australian IF units with a similar antimicrobial distribution and resistance pattern.
