- Abstract: At 128 US hospitals, from 2009–2014, a 17% decline occurred annually in central venous catheter tips sent for culture: a 6-fold decrease from blood culture sampling trends. The positive predictive value was low (23%). Tip culture use often does not conform to recommendations and offers limited independent treatment opportunities.
