Fig. 4From: Peripherally inserted central catheters have a protective role and the effect of fluctuation curve feature in the risk of bloodstream infection compared with central venous catheters: a propensity-adjusted analysis30-day CLABSI hazard before and after propensity score matching. A In the whole cohort, patients with CVC had a significantly higher 30-day CLABSI hazard compared with patients with PICC (HR = 6.76, 95% CI 5.53–8.27). B In the PSM cohort, patients with CVC also had a significantly higher 30-day CLABSI hazard compared with patients with PICC (adjHR = 3.27, 95% CI 2.38–4.49)Back to article page
