Popis: Central venous access devices, specifically implantable ports, play an essential role in the care of oncology patients; however, complications are prevalent. This retrospective single-institutional review was performed to identify rates of complications from port placement and potential factors associated with these events. A retrospective analysis of 539 cancer patients who underwent port insertion between March 2016 and March 2017 at our institution was conducted. Data examining 18 potentially predictive factors were collected, and multivariate analysis was conducted using logistic regression and odds ratios (ORs) with standard errors to determine predictive factors. Out of 539 patients, 100 patients (19%) experienced 1 complication, and 12 patients (2%) experienced 2 or more complications. An overall lower rate of complications was seen in patients on therapeutic anticoagulation (OR: 0.17, P
