Abstract

This systematic review and meta-analysis included nine RCTs. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the risk ratio for phlebitis, local infection, bloodstream infection, and catheter occlusion, between clinically indicated replacement and routine three-day replacement, in three different climate subgroups.
