Should central venous catheters be removed as soon as candidemia is detected in neonates
Abstract
Background Controversy exists regarding the most appropriate acute management of central venous catheters (CVCs) in neonates with candidemia, with up to two thirds of neonatologists preferring to attempt antifungal therapy without removing CVCs. Objective To determine whether CVCs should be removed as soon as candidemia is detected in neonates. Methods. A cohort study of candidemia and CVC was conducted in infants in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over a 5-year period (1994-1998). Results Fifty infants had early-removal CVC (ER-CVC) within 3 days and 54 infants had late-removal CVC (LR-CVC) >3 days after the first positive blood culture for Candida species. All infants were treated with amphotericin B. There was no significant difference between infants in the ER-CVC and LR-CVC groups in terms of gender, ethnicity, birth weight, gestational age, age at candidemia, severity-of-illness scores, distribution of types of CVC, or in the distribution of Candida species causing candidemia. The ER-CVC group had significantly shorter duration of candidemia (median: 3 days; range: 1-14 days), compared with the LR-CVC group (median: 6 days; range: 1-24 days). The case fatality rate of Candida albicans candidemia was significantly affected by the timing of CVC removal: 0 of 21 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0-14) infants died in the ER-CVC group in contrast to 9 of 23 (39%; 95% CI: 19-59) in the LR-CVC group. Conclusion Failure to remove CVC as soon as candidemia was detected in ne…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
