The article discusses a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by researchers from the University of Messina, comparing the effectiveness of antibacterial lock therapy (ALT) with the standard of care (SoC) for central venous catheter (CVC)-related infections. Topics include the potential advantages of ALT in preserving CVCs when replacement isn't feasible, the analysis of microbiological healing rates, and the need for further randomized controlled trials to strengthen the evidence base. |
