Abstract

Abstract Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are common healthcare-associated infections in pediatrics. Children’s hospital CLABSI standardized infection ratios decreased when comparing 2016–2019 (−26%, 95% CI [−31%, −20%]), and increased from 2019 to 2022 (18%, 95% CI [9%, 26%]). Resilient pediatric CLABSI prevention initiatives are needed.
