Abstract
In the Netherlands, the PREZIES surveillance is used for registration and surveillance of central venous catheter (CVC) -related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). We investigated how this Dutch definition correlated with internationally used definitions for CRBSI, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and mucosal barrier injury laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infections (MBI-LCBI). We determined that the Dutch PREZIES definition of CRBSI is appropriate for surveillance control of CVC care bundle use in haemato-oncology patients managed with multi-lumen CVCs.
