Jill A. Marsteller,J. Bryan Sexton,Yea Jen Hsu,Chun Ju Hsiao,Christine G. Holzmueller,Peter J. Pronovost,David A. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: Both groups decreased infection rates after implementation and sustained these results over time, replicating the results found in previous, pre-post studies of this multifaceted intervention and providing further evidence that most central line-associated bloodstream infections are preventable.
