Comparison of catheter-related bloodstream infection between peripherally inserted central catheters and tunneled central venous catheters in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition: a meta-analysis
PICCs were associated with a lower risk of CRBSI than tunneled CVCs in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition. However, the certainty of evidence was very low; therefore, these findings should be interpreted with caution, and further high-quality studies are needed.
