Incidence and factors associated with central line-associated bloodstream infection in patients with chronic intestinal failure. A 20-year retrolective cohort

The incidence rate of CLABSI was lower than reported in other studies in upper-middle-income countries. Depression and the presence of intestinal stomas may be associated with a higher risk of CLABSI, possibly through their impact on self-care and stress-inflammation pathways. These results underscore the importance of psychosocial and clinical factors in preventing CLABSI. Multicentre studies are needed to enhance external validity across diverse settings.
