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 rate was found. A large number of MABSI were caused by Staphylococcus spp and Enterococcus spp, as has previously been reported for central line-associated bloodstream infection. Patients with MABSI had high in-hospital mortality rates.
