External ventricular drainage (EVD) is frequently used in neurosurgery to drain cerebrospinal fluid in patients with raised intracranial pressure.
We performed a retrospective single center study in order to evaluate the incidence of EVD-related infections and to identify underlying risk factors.
246 EVDs were placed in 218 patients over a 30-month period.
EVD was continued in median for 7 days (range 1–44).
The cumulative incidence of EVD-related infections was 8.3% (95% CI, 5.3–12.7) with a device-associated infection rate of 10.4 per 1000 drainage days (95% CI, 6.2–16.5).
The pathogens most commonly identified were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (62%) followed by Enterococcus spp.
(19%).
Patients with an EVD-related infection had a significantly longer ICU (11 versus 21 days, P<0.01) and hospital stay (20 versus 28.5 days, P<0.01) than patients without.
Median total duration of external drainage was twice as long in patients with EVD-related infection (6 versus 12 days, P<0.01).
However, there was no significant difference in the duration between first EVD placement and the occurrence of EVD-related infection and EVD removal in patients without EVD-related infection (6 versus 7 days, P=0.87), respectively.
Interestingly no risk factor for EVD-related infection could be identified in our cohort of patients.
