Background: Although the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) has been widely utilized, there is still a lack of large sample size-based relevant risk factor investigation for the children with blood diseases in a single center of China. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study through including a total of 2,974 cases aged 0-18 years with blood diseases and PICC insertion. Success rates of different PICC operation techniques were compared. Targeting the common PICC-related complications, we performed the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Then, based on the screened risk factors, the prediction modeling analysis of binary logistic regression was conducted. Results: The "B-ultrasound plus Seldinger technology" showed a higher success rate of PICC placement than the "non-assistive blind insertion". The catheter type was closely linked to the occurrence of catheter occlusion. The age, insertion site, and catheter type might be the risk factors of phlebitis, while the insertion site, operation season, and catheter type might be associated with catheter fracture. Furthermore, based on these risk factors, we established the nomogram prediction models of phlebitis, rash occurrence, and catheter fracture, respectively, which shows a good predictive ability and a moderate level of predictive accuracy. Conclusions: Our findings first shed new light on the preoperative estimation of the risk factors of PICCrelated complications for the children with blood diseases in China.
Background: The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) has been widely used. However, there is still a lack of large sample size-based relevant risk factor investigation in children with blood diseases in china. Methods: We performed a retrospective, the single-center cohort study of child blood disease patients with PICC insertion. Totally, 2974 patients were enrolled for our study. Results: B-ultrasound plus Seldinger technology significantly improved the success rate of PICC insertion. The most common non-infectious complications were rash, followed by catheter blockage, mechanical phlebitis, and catheter broke. the male, 1-3 years old, Power PICC solo catheter and spring are risk factors for the rash. The power PICC solo catheter was the most important risk factor for catheter blockage. Insertion site under the elbow was the most important risk factor for phlebitis and catheter damage. Conclusion: Our finding first shed new light on the risk factors associated with PICC complications for Chinese blood disease children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
