BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) significantly impact patient outcomes and health care costs. This study evaluates the effect of NICU-specific bundle designed to prevent CLABSIs.
METHODS: This retrospective single-center study was conducted at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine from March 2020 to August 2021. It was designed to compare 2 periods: pre-intervention and post-intervention period.
RESULTS: The implementation of the bundles led to a significant reduction in infection rates, with CLABSIs decreasing from 29 to 4 per 1,000 central line days in NICU-1 and from 14.2 to 2.6 per 1,000 central line days in NICU-2. This decline was accompanied by an 80% reduction in the average health care cost per patient.
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a NICU-specific CLABSI prevention bundle significantly reduced infection rates and lowered health care costs by approximately 80% per patient. These findings highlight the effectiveness of structured, multidisciplinary infection control strategies in improving neonatal outcomes and resource utilization.
