BACKGROUND: Central venous catheters (CVCs) provide an immediate hemodialysis access but are considered to be of elevated risk for complications. It remains unclear, if CVCs per se have relevant impact on clinical outcome. We provide an assessment of CVC-associated complications and their impact on mortality.
METHODS: In a single center retrospective study, CVC patients between JAN2015-JUN2021 were included. Data on duration of CVC use, complications and comorbidities was collected. Estimated 6-month mortality was compared to actual death rate.
RESULTS: About 478 CVCs were analyzed. Initiation of dialysis was the main reason for CVC implantation. Death was predominant for termination of CVC use. Infections were rare (0.6/1000 catheter days), complications were associated with certain comorbidities. Actual 6-month mortality was lower than predicted (14.3% vs 19.6%).
CONCLUSION: (1) CVCs are predominantly implanted for initiation of hemodialysis; (2) serious complications are rare; (3) complications are associated with certain comorbidities; and (4) CVC patients survive longer than predicted.
