Text: With chlorhexidine dressings, the major-CRI rate was 67 % lower (0. 7 per 1, 000 vs. 2. 1 per 1, 000 catheter-days ; hazard ratio [HR], 0. 328 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0. 174-0. 619 ; P = 0. 0006) and the CR-BSI rate 60 % lower (0. 5 per 1, 000 vs. 1. 3 per 1, 000 catheter-days ; HR, 0. 402 ; 95 % CI, 0. 186-0. 868 ; P = 0. 02) than with nonchlorhexidine dressings ; decreases were noted in catheter colonization and skin colonization rates at catheter removal.
