Complications were classified according to SIR guidelines. Pearson χ2 test was used for categorical variables, and Student t test was used for continuous variables.

Total dwell time was 584,853 catheter days. Mean total complication rate was 12.25% (SI, 14.87%; PUR, 11.43%; P = .040). Subanalysis revealed significant differences for material failures (eg, catheter fracture [SI, 3.35%; PUR, 0.06%; P < .001] and thrombotic catheter occlusion/venous thromboses [SI, 2.79%/0.74%; PUR, 1.33%/3.17%; P < .001]) but nonsignificant differences for infections (eg, local infection and catheter-related sepsis [SI, 4.64%; PUR, 4.68%; P = 1]) or other nonthrombotic dysfunctions (eg, catheter detachment, line migration, wound dehiscence [SI, 3.35%; PUR, 2.19%; P = .179]).CONCLUSIONS: The reported data suggest different risk profiles in SI catheters compared with PUR catheters, with more material failures and thrombotic catheter occlusions in SI catheters and more venous thromboses in PUR catheters.",
