In a multivariate analysis of 30 574 blood culture (BC) results, BC contamination was associated with only a small increase in antibiotic length of therapy compared to no-growth BCs (difference, 0.36 days [95% confidence interval, .05-.67]; = .02). Stewardship processes at our institution appear to be effective in reducing the impact of BC contamination.
在对30574份血培养(BC)结果进行的多变量分析中,与无生长的血培养结果相比,血培养污染仅使抗生素治疗时长略有增加(差异为0.36天[95%置信区间,0.05 - 0.67];P = 0.02)。我们机构的管理流程似乎在降低血培养污染的影响方面是有效的。
