Systematic scoping review of automated systems for the surveillance of healthcare-associated bloodstream infections related to intravascular catheters

ConclusionThe automated surveillance systems that we identified were heterogeneous in terms of definitions, datasets and denominators used, with a combination of rules in each algorithm. Further guidelines and studies are needed to develop and implement algorithms to detect CLABSI/CRBSI, with standardized definitions, appropriate data sources and suitable denominators.
