Popis: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) pose a significant patient risk. To address incorrect classifications of infectious events as CLABSI, the surveillance process was changed from using finalized blood culture to preliminary blood culture results as trigger of timely, in-depth reviews. This improved the detection of true CLABSI events.
