Abstract

Background: Children with chronic IF require long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN), administered through a central venous catheter. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) with Staphylococcus aureus is known to be a serious infection with a high mortality rate and risk of complications. A standardized protocol on the management of S aureus CRBSIs in children receiving HPN is lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the current management in an HPN expertise center in the Netherlands.<br />Methods: We performed a retrospective descriptive cohort study between 2013 and 2022 on children 0-18 years of age with chronic IF requiring long-term HPN. Our primary outcomes were the incidence of S aureus CRBSI per 1000 catheter days, catheter salvage attempt rate, and successful catheter salvage rate. Our secondary outcomes included complications and mortality.<br />Results: A total of 74 patients (39 male; 53%) were included, covering 327.8 catheter years. Twenty-eight patients (38%) had a total of 52 S aureus CRBSIs, with an incidence rate of 0.4 per 1000 catheter days. The catheter salvage attempt rate was 44% (23/52). The successful catheter salvage rate was 100%. No relapse occurred, and no removal was needed after catheter salvage. All complications that occurred were already present at admission before the decision to remove the catheter or not. No patients died because of an S aureus CRBSI.<br />Conclusion: Catheter salvage in S aureus CRBSIs in children receiving HPN can be attempted after careful consideration by a multidisciplinary team in an HPN expertise center.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.
