PG - 506-515 LID - 10.1089/dia.2018.0110 [doi] AB - Increasing proportions of patients with diabetes use continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy mostly due to its clinical efficacy and flexibility for insulin dosing and adjustments. Some challenges are nevertheless associated with this technology. A key and underlooked component of CSII technical difficulties is the subcutaneous catheter used to infuse insulin. Several adverse events (AEs) have been experienced by patients in relation to catheters, such as blockage, kinking, and insertion site reactions, including irritation, infections, lipohypertrophies etc., all of which could compromise the metabolic control. With the objective of minimizing these AEs, recommendations for changing catheters every 2-3 days have historically been provided by manufacturers based on reports derived from small studies and anecdotal data. The aim of this review was to provide an updated analysis of current recommendations and patients' practices in relation to frequency of catheter change. Our main findings are: (1) adequately designed and powered studies investigating optimal catheter wearing time are still lacking; (2) increasing catheter wearing time is generally associated with increased frequency of catheter AEs; (3) however, interpatient variability is large, with some individuals needing to change their catheters every 2-3 days, whereas others probably being able to keep them in place for longer periods without problems. Further research is thus warranted to provide more solid and evidence-based recommendations while exploring personalized approaches at the same time. Increasing catheter wear life without significant side effects is an important goal to simplify CSII therapy and reduce its associated costs and burdens.
