Objective: to investigate the association between central line-associated bloodstream infections and clinical and care variables of intensive care unit patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at a reference public health institution. Method: a case-control study. Results: the study sample consisted of 70 patients diagnosed with central line-associated bloodstream infections (case group) and 70 non-infected patients (control group). Most patients were male, with mean age of 57.93±13.93 years old and provided with a double lumen catheter. Median time of central line-associated bloodstream infections onset was 11 (8-18) days. Longer time on mechanical ventilation ( P =0.014; OR: 1.79; 95% CI: 0.91-3.51) and prone position ( P =0.017; OR: 2.41; 95% CI: 1.22-4.81) were associated with central line-associated bloodstream infections onset. Conclusion: longer time on invasive mechanical ventilation and prone position contributed to central line-associated bloodstream infections onset in COVID-19 patients.Downloads
