“…Effective interventions with the INICC multidimensional approach and ISOS were reported in ICUs from Argentina (46.63 vs. 11.10 CLABSIs per 1000 CL-days), showing a 76% reduction, and 57% reduction (incidence density rate: 0.43; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-0.6; P < .001) (Rosenthal et al, 2003); Colombia, showing a 73% CLABSI rate reduction (relative risk, 0.27; 95% confidence interval, 0.14-0.52; P = .002) (Alvarez-Moreno et al, 2016); Mexico (46.3 vs. 19.5 BSIs per 1000 IVD days) showing a 58% reduction (Higuera et al, 2005); Turkey (22.7 to 12.0 CLABSIs per 1000 CL-days), showing a 47% reduction (Leblebicioglu et al, 2013); India (6.4 CLABSIs to 3.9 CLABSIs per 1000 CL-days), showing a 39% reduction (Jaggi et al, 2013); and Saudi Arabia (6.9 to 3.1 per 1000 CL-days) (Al-Abdely et al, 2017). In multicentric studies conducted in adult ICUs (14.5 vs. 9.7 CLABSIs per 1000 CLdays) from 15 countries (Argentina, Turkey, Colombia, India, Mexico, Philippines, Brazil, Peru, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Cuba, Lebanon, Macedonia, Morocco, and Panama), showed a 33% reduction ; in pediatric ICUs from 5 countries (Colombia, India, Mexico, Philippines, and Turkey)(10.7 vs. 5.2 CLABSIs per 1000 CL-days), showed a 51% reduction (Rosenthal et al, 2012), and in NICUs from 4 countries (El Salvador, Mexico, Philippines, and Tunisia) showed a CLABSI rate decrease by 55%, from 21.4 per 1000 CL-days during phase 1 to 9.7 per 1000 CLdays during phase 2 (rate ratio, 0.45 [95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.63]) .…”
