REDUCCTION

National, collaborative project engaging 37 Australian Renal Units which aims to reduce the burden of dialysis catheter complications.

Our results are in! Although rates were lower than expected, this still means 1/10 patients who have a catheter for a year will experience a dialysis catheter related bloodstream infection @SradhaKotwal @kidneybloke @dialysisbloke @sarah_scoggan @NephMcDonald @georgeinstitute

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Implementation of a multifaceted, evidenced based package of interventions did not alter the rate of dialysis catheter related bloodstream infection, finds this study by @SradhaKotwal and colleagues https://t.co/G3mTRRvZL6

Too true. The @reducction trial will hopefully find solutions and improve outcomes @kidneybloke @georgeinstitute
