One-third of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections are caused by central lines, PICCs, and midlines caused by polyurethane and silicone PICC lines.
Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infection is a common cause of poor prognosis of sepsis in the ICU. However, sepsis-associated ICU-acquired infections have not been fully characterized. The study aims to assess the risk factors and develop a model that predicts the risk of ICU-acquired infections in patients with sepsis.
