Authors' objectives:
To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of educational interventions for preventing catheter-BSI in critical care units in England.
Authors' recommendations:
Our results suggest that it would be cost-effective and may be cost-saving for the NHS to implement educational interventions in critical care units. However, more robust primary studies are needed to exclude the possible influence of secular trends on observed reductions in catheter-BSI.
