Highlights • Sustain provides longitudinal data about HPN CLABSI in the United States. • Of the 1,046 HPN patients followed in the registry, 10.7% reported one or more CLABSI during 223,493 days of PN exposure. • The overall CLABSI rate for Sustain was 0.87/1,000 PN days. • Patients who were male, pediatric age, black, or had Medicaid insurance had higher infection rates. • CLABSI were more often associated with double lumen, or implanted ports.
