A multicenter study showed evidence of increased risk of infection for neonates during the two weeks after CVC insertion with an increase in the risk as the line age‚ and Millstone‚ demonstrated that peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines in place < 7 days had a lower risk of infection.
