Impact of catheter antimicrobial coating on species-specific risk of catheter colonization: a meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial catheters have been utilized to reduce risk of catheter colonization and infection. We aimed to determine if there is a greater than expected risk of microorganism-specific colonization associated with the use of antimicrobial central venous catheters (CVCs). METHODS: We pe...
