Abstract

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is widely used all over the world, but the complications related to it have not been well solved. Objective: To evaluate PICC-related complications and risk factors. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at multicenters on patients who underwent PICC placement from May 2017 to June 2018 to identify the incidence and risk factors of complications. Information of patients and insertion was collected by an mobile App. Univariable and multivariable analysis were fit to examine the risk factors of complications. Odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to indicate the association between risk factors and complications. Results: A total of 4959 patients were included with 511 (10.3%) patients developed complications. In univariable analysis, age (P=0.026), smoke (P<0.001), drinking (P<0.001), prior surgery (P<0.001) and PICC insertion site (P=0.023) were associated with complications. Following logistic regression analysis, drinking (OR 1.72, 95 CI% 1.07-2.778, P=0.025) and prior surgery (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.55-2.67, P<0.001) remained to be independent risk factors of complications. Drinking was associated with phlebitis (P=0.002) and thrombosis (P=0.007), and prior surgery was associated with phlebitis (P<0.001), infections (P=0.001) and mechanical complications (P=0.008). Conclusion: Paying more attention to patients who drink alcohol and have surgery history may reduce the risk of adverse outcome.
