Midline-associated bloodstream infections

"A MABSI rate similar to the central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rate was found. A large number of MABSI were caused by Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp., as has previously been reported for CLABSI" Choudhury et al (2024).

Midline-associated bloodstream infections

Abstract:

This study sought to determine the incidence and characteristics of midline-associated bloodstream infections (MABSI) at an urban health system during the COVID-19 pandemic. A MABSI rate similar to the central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rate was found. A large number of MABSI were caused by Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp., as has previously been reported for CLABSI. Patients with MABSI had high in-hospital mortality rates.
