We analyzed the impact of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium multidimensional infection control approach on central line–associated bloodstream infection.
We used the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium Surveillance Online System in 2,988 intensive care unit patients in 2 cities of Colombia.
The central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rate was reduced by 73%, from 12.9 to 3.5 CLABSIs per 1,000 central line days.
