- Abstract
Background. Central venous catheterization is a fundamental component in delivering haemodialysis yet is associated with significantly higher complication rates than other methods of vascular access. In this study, we report results of univariate and multivariate analyses designed to identify and quantify independent risk association for catheterization type, clinical variables and laboratory variables with regard to the development of catheter-related bacteraemia (CRB) and catheter failure due to poor haemodialysis flow.
