Association of immediate reinsertion of new catheters with subsequent mortality among patients with suspected catheter infection: a cohort study.

In this cohort study, IRINC was associated with higher 30-day mortality compared to delayed CVC or no CVC among patients with suspected CRBSI. A large-sample randomized controlled trial is needed to define the best management for CVC in cases of suspected CRBSI because IRINC may also be associated with noninfectious complications. Trial registration This study was registered with the China Clinical Trials Registry (URL: http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx ) under the following registration number: ChiCTR1900022175.
