Methods RCT (Turkey)
Participants Adult ICU patients who required a CVC

Outcomes Catheter colonisation and catheter‐related BSI ("catheter‐related sepsis"), determined using "standard microbiological methods" ('Materials and methods')
Notes The study evaluated a mixture of venous and arterial catheters with no separate analysis for venous catheters. This appears to be a conference abstract. We are awaiting further information from the authors.
