Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 257998 0
The frequency of early removal of peripherally inserted central vernous catheters, which is prior to intended treatment finishing, due to complications with the PICC or accidental removal
Outcome assessment by clinical monitoring and follow-up phone calls.
Timepoint [1] 257998 0
Time of insertion and then weekly until removal of device
Secondary outcome [1] 263552 0
The frequency of catheter-related bloodstream infections are defined as bacteraemia/fungaemia in a patient with an intravascular catheter with at least one positive blood culture obtained from a peripheral vein, and/or clinical manifestations of infection (i.e. fever, chills, and/or hypotension), and no apparent course for the bloodstream infection except the catheter. Where this cannot clearly be determined the information will be reviewed by an independent reviewer.
Assessed by clinical examination and follow-up phone calls.
