In 2017, 5 of 429 PICCs developed a central line-associated infection (1.2%) and 29 of 429 PICCs developed symptomatic venous thromboembolism (6.7%). Patients with PICCs whose primary service was in an ICU were independently at higher risk of early removal (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.14, 1.83); weekday insertion was independently associated with a lower likelihood of early removal compared to weekend insertion (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.49, 0.75).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Limitation<\/jats:title>\n PICC removal after discharge was not assessed and paper records were likely incomplete and biased.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Nearly one in five PICCs were removed within five days.
