Background Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) cause morbidity and mortality
in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Cathasept (tetra-sodium EDTA) solution has antimicrobial …

Background Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) is one of various complications
related to hemodialysis (HD). As a result of the high rate of infection, the use of lock solutions …

The incident hemodialysis (HD) population is aging, and the elderly group is the one with
the most rapid increase. In this context it is important to define the factors associated with …

Background Catheter malfunction, including thrombosis, is associated with reduced dialysis
adequacy, as well as an increased risk of catheter‐related bacteraemia and mortality. The …

Background Central venous catheters (CVC) are the only option when hemodialysis is
needed for patients without definitive vascular access. However, CVC is associated with …

Background Taurolidine citrate with heparin (Taurolock/Hep) is a promising central venous
catheter lock solution. Despite its universal use among our hemodialysis patients, the …

Purpose The purpose of our study is to carry out a Bayesian network meta-analysis
comparing the efficacy of different antimicrobial lock solutions (ALS) for prevention of …

Background: Citrate has theoretical advantages over heparin for locking hemodialysis
central venous catheters (CVCs), but the comparative effectiveness of these agents is not …
