What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The rate of adverse events in subjects undergoing chemotherapy administration through PORTs and PIVs.

    Subjects medical records will be retrospectively reviewed from present day back to January 1, 2008 to assess for complications

    Measured: Through end of chemotherapy, up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The average number of accesses during course of treatment (i.e. - chemotherapy administration, CTs, blood draws, TPN, etc.)

    Subjects medical records will be retrospectively reviewed from present day back to January 1, 2008 to assess for complications

    Measured: Through end of chemotherapy, up to 3 years

  2. The rate of Vascular Access Device conversion from Peripheral IV to PORT

    Subjects medical records will be retrospectively reviewed from present day back to January 1, 2008 to assess for complications

    Measured: Through end of chemotherapy, up to 3 years

  3. The average time of vascular access device conversion from Peripheral IV to PORT

    Subjects medical records will be retrospectively reviewed from present day back to January 1, 2008 to assess for complications

    Measured: Through end of chemotherapy, up to 3 years
