A Prospective Observational Study on the Clinical and Microbiological Profile of Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infections in Hemodialysis Patients and Their Outcome in a Tertiary Care Centre in Northeast India

The observed CRBSI incidence and mortality exceeded rates reported in high-resource settings. Early arteriovenous fistula creation, strict adherence to aseptic protocols, and empiric antimicrobial regimens covering both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms are urgently required.
