Time to positivity as a predictor of catheter-related bacteremia and mortality in adults with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection
These findings advocate for the routine use of TTP over DTP as a diagnostic tool to guide timely interventions such as catheter removal, thereby potentially improving patient outcomes in PAE-BSI. Moreover, lower TTP have also prognostic implications in both catheter-related and non-catheter-related infections.
