The REDUCCTION trial systematically measures the use of HD CVCs at a national level in Australia, accurately determines the rate of HD-CRBSI, and tests the effect of a multifaceted, evidence-based intervention upon the rate of HD-CRBSI. These results will have global relevance in nephrology and other specialties commonly using CVCs.
