To evaluate the effectiveness of a quality initiative in reducing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in our neonatal intensive care unit, we designed a prospective study (January 2012-September 2013) estimating CLABSI incidence before and after our implementation. CLABSI rates were significantly decreased after our intervention, from 12 cases per 1,000 central vascular catheter (CVC) days during the preinterventional period to 3.4 cases per 1,000 CVC days during the postinterventional period (P = .004).
为评估一项质量改进措施在降低我们新生儿重症监护病房中心静脉导管相关血流感染（CLABSIs）方面的有效性，我们设计了一项前瞻性研究（2012年1月至2013年9月），以估算实施该措施前后的CLABSI发病率。干预后CLABSI发生率显著降低，从干预前期每1000个中心静脉导管（CVC）日12例降至干预后期每1000个CVC日3.4例（P = 0.004）。
