Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Line infection rate	All patients will be followed from the point of time of randomisation and PICC insertion until the line develops a complication or is removed. The average length of duration of line access in our institution is 4 weeks.	From insertion to line removal, an estimated time of 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Effect of number of lumens	Assessing the effect number of lumens in the catheter has on complication rate.	From insertion to time of removal, an estimated average time of four weeks.
