Surveillance of Hospital-Acquired Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Patients Lessons Learned, Challenges Ahead
Published in
Infection control and hospital epidemiology (Online), January 2015
Across 36 US pediatric oncology centers, 576 central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) were reported over a 21-month period. Most infections occurred in those with leukemia and/or profound neutropenia. The contribution of viridans streptococci infections was striking. Study findings depict the contemporary epidemiology of CLABSIs in hospitalized pediatric cancer patients.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 October 2025.
All research outputs
#6,021,565
of 34,518,147 outputs
Outputs from Infection control and hospital epidemiology (Online)
#2,079
of 6,192 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,422
of 410,260 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Infection control and hospital epidemiology (Online)
#707
of 2,028 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,518,147 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,192 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 410,260 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2,028 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
