This retrospective cohort study aims to identify risk factors for catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in hospitalized patients with intestinal failure (IF), including all subtypes (Types I-III). The study included 321 patients with 9,365 catheter-days. Multivariate logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors. Stratified analyses identified subtype-specific risks, and hospital stay length and health economic outcomes were assessed. The study highlights the need for subtype-tailored prevention strategies and closer metabolic and immune monitoring in hospitalized IF patients.
