Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.

Summary of findings for the main comparison. Longer intervals (5‐15 days) (intervention) versus shorter intervals (2‐5 days) (control) between dressing changes for preventing catheter‐related infection in people with central venous access devices

Patient or population: patients with a central venous access device
Setting: Hospital or community settings in Europe
Intervention: longer intervals between dressing changes (5 ‐ 15 days) (intervention)
Comparison: shorter intervals between dressing changes (2 ‐ 5 days) (control)

Skin damage
№ of participants: 1587
(4 RCTs)

Follow up: unclear

Not estimable

Skin damage was reported in four studies. Two provided data but their results were not combined due to inconsistency of size and direction of the effects. One study in children found less skin damage in the longer interval group (8/56) compared with the shorter interval group (24/56). Rates of skin damage in one study in adults were similar (7/39 in longer interval versus 6/42 in shorter interval).9

It is uncertain whether longer (compared with shorter) intervals between dressing changes reduce skin damage

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio; OR: Odds ratio;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1 Downgraded for risk of bias due to lack of blinding of participants and personnel and for a probable unit of analysis error (individual participants randomised but numbers of infections reported)

2 Downgraded for serious imprecision: result consistent with a reduction in CRBSI or an almost 5 fold increase

3 Downgraded for risk of bias due to lack of blinding of participants and personnel

4 Downgraded for imprecision: result consistent with a 10% reduction in mortality or a 25% increase

5 Downgraded twice for serious risk of bias: risk of performance bias due to lack of blinding of participants and personnel; different dressings were used in response to skin damage

6 Downgraded for inconsistency: experimental and control groups were different between studies and frequency of dressing changes overlapped between longer and shorter groups

7 Downgraded for imprecision

8 Downgraded for risk of bias: blinding of outcome assessment not described

9 Data from two additional RCTs could not be extracted and used within the analysis. One study presented toxicity on a 5‐point scale and reported no differences between groups. We are unable to use the data from the fourth study due to the 2 x 2 factorial design.
