Summary:•Central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) was common in neonates and children.•Number of catheter lumen and place of catheter insertion were important risk factors.•CLABSI prolonged hospitalization, and increased healthcare costs in our patients.•Implementation of systematic and comprehensive CLABSI preventive measures are necessary. Central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a common healthcare-associated infection in patients indwelling central venous catheter (CVC). This study examined the incidence rates, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of CLABSI among neonates (aged < 1 month) and children (aged ≥ 1 month) admitted to a tertiary care university hospital. An overall CLABSI incidence rate was 3.2 per 1,000 catheter-days. Number of CVC lumen and place of catheter insertion were a significant risk factor among our neonates and children, respectively. CLABSI prolonged hospitalization and increased hospital costs.
