Rate of Device-related Bacteremia
30 Number of infections
11 Number of infections

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Population: tPA use/1,000 catheter-days

The rate of thrombolytic agent use required to maintain blood flow adequate for dialysis was used as an objective measure of clinically significant catheter clotting.
