| Summary: | 1. Too few studies of sufficiently high quality are available to appraise the functionality of the method, or how often PICC has successfully established central venous access when compared to other central venous lines. 2. Likewise, the evidence is insufficient to compare complication risks or patient experiences. The findings suggest a potentially higher risk of deep vein thrombosis, but a potentially lower risk of catheter occlusion, when using PICC. 3. Since the medical effects have not been sufficiently studied, the cost-effectiveness of the method cannot be appraised. Studies of high quality are essential to investigate the clinical benefits, risks, and cost-effectiveness of PICC. |
