Vascular Access–Related Bloodstream Infections in Hemodialysis Patients: surveillance 2013-2014

From April 1st, 2013, to March 31st, 2014, 44 hemodialysis units took part in the surveillance of vascular access–related bloodstream infections (VARBSIs) in hemodialysis (HD) patients, for a combined total of 54,878 patient-periods (Table 1). Participating units reported 157 VARBSIs in 149 patients. Patient-periods involving a fistula accounted for 44.9% of patient-periods. The VARBSI incidence rate was 0.10 cases per 100 patient-periods for patients with an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, 0.22 for patients with a synthetic fistula (graft), 0.38 for patients with a permanent catheter and 6.20 for patients with a temporary catheter. In 2013-2014, incidence rates were stable for patients with a graft and for patients with a temporary catheter compared to 2009-2013, while incidence rates decreased significantly for patients with an AV fistula as well as patients with a permanent catheter. In 2013-2014, three HD units opened up and joined the program; one HD unit carried out the surveillance but could not report its results so these were excluded from analysis. Data was extracted on May 15, 2014.

* A period corresponds to 28 days for a total of 13 periods per year.

In 2013-2014, the VARBSI incidence rate was 0.10 cases per 100 patient-periods for patients with an AV fistula, 0.22 for patients with a graft, 0.38 for patients with a permanent catheter and 6.20 for patients with a temporary catheter (Figure 1). The VARBSI incidence rate was higher when the buttonhole technique was used (0.25 per 100 patient-periods versus 0.02, p < 0.01). Incidence rates were not statistically different between patients with permanent catheter, graft nor AV fistula with buttonhole.

Therefore, compared with an AV fistula without buttonhole, the incidence rate with a temporary catheter was 305.0 [88.9 ; 1046.6] times greater, with a permanent catheter, 18.5 [6.0 ; 58.9] times greater, with a graft 10.7 [2.6 ; 44.8] times greater and with an AV fistula with a buttonhole, the incidence rate was 12.3 [3.6 ; 41.5] times greater (all p values < 0.01). The incidence rate with a temporary catheter was 16.3 [9.7 ; 27.5] times higher than with a permanent catheter (< 0.01).

Figure 1 – VARBSI Incidence Rate by Type of Vascular Access, Québec, 2013-2014 (Incidence Rate per 100 Patient-periods [95% CI])

95% CI: 95% confidence interval

Permanent catheters are the most commonly used type of vascular access, followed by AV fistulas without the use of the buttonhole technique (Figure 2).

Figure 2 – Breakdown of Patient-periods by Type of Vascular Access, Québec, 2013-2014 (%)

In 2013-2014, the incidence rates for patients with a graft and patients with a temporary catheter were comparable to 2009-2013 rates (Table 2 and Figures 3 and 4). However, the incidence rate for patients with AV fistula decreased significantly (p < 0.01) just as for patients with permanent catheter (p < 0.01). This decrease, observed with the two most frequently used types of vascular access, must be viewed in parallel with the sharp drop of VARBSI cases reported in 2013-2014 (Tables 2 and 3).

Despite recommendations to increase the use of fistula, the proportion of patients who receive hemodialysis through a catheter, either temporary or permanent, increased in 2013-2014 compared with 2009-2013. However, the proportion of patients with a temporary catheter, which is the form of vascular access most likely to lead to a VARBSI, decreased significantly (p < 0.01).

Patients who developed a VARBSI were aged between 0 and 93 years, with a median age of 68 years. The vast majority (83%, or 130 cases) of VARBSIs occurred in patients who received their hemodialysis treatment via catheter, even though they represented only 55% of the patient-periods monitored (Figure 5). For most of the cases that arose in patients receiving their hemodialysis through an AV fistula, the buttonhole technique was used (86%) even though this technique is used among 34% of patients with AV fistula.

Figure 5 – Breakdown of VARBSIs by Type of Vascular Access, Québec, 2013-2014 (N = 156)

Overall, 15% of VARBSI cases resulted in death within 30 days following the onset of bacteremia. Death occurred in 39% of cases of VARBSI among hospitalized patients (Table 4 and Figure 6), compared with 11% of cases among patients receiving ambulatory care (p = 0.003). A total of 59% of ambulatory patients who developed a VARBSI required hospitalization.

Figure 7 shows that Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequently isolated microorganism in all VARBSI cases (54%). This was followed by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS, 11%) and Enterobacteriaceae (other than Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp., 9%). Three of the CoNS cases (n = 18) involved S. lugdunensis. S. aureus was the most frequently isolated microorganism in cases resulting in death (70%).

Figure 7 – Categories of Isolated Microorganisms in All Reported Cases (N = 162) and Cases Resulting in Death Within 30 Days (N = 23), Québec, 2013-2014 (%)

In 2013-2014, 12% of S. aureus strains were oxacillin-resistant, which is not significantly different compared with 2009‑2013 mean percentage (Table 5 and Figure 8).

Figures 9 and 10 show the breakdown of patient-periods monitored in 2013-2014, by type of vascular access and by healthcare facility. In 2013-2014, the percentage of fistulas decreased in 15 healthcare facilities and increased in 6 (Table 6). Twelve facilities reported a rate of 0 VARBSI per 100 patient-periods, and only one reported a rate higher than the 90th-percentile mark for 2009-2013 (Figure 11 and Table 7). Facilities with an incidence rate of 0 had small dialysis units of 4 to 12 chairs.
