AB  - Peripheral venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (PVC-BSIs) lead to 
      prolonged hospitalization, morbidity and increased costs. The impact of 
      infection-prevention measures on the rate of PVC-BSIs in a university hospital in 
      Spain was assessed. An active surveillance programme was initiated in 2015, which 
      revealed a high PVC-BSI incidence ratio (0.48/1000 patient-days). A bundle aimed 
      at nurses, medical staff and patients was implemented, and a Catheter Infection 
      Team (CIT) was set up. The intervention achieved a decrease in PVC-BSI rate: 0.34 
      in 2016, 0.29 in 2017, and 0.17 in 2018. The decline was greatest for 
      Gram-negative PVC-BSIs (67.6% in 2015, 35.3% in 2018).
