An Intervention to Decrease Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections in the ICU . In the first paragraph under the "Measurement and Categorization of Data" heading (page 2727), the sixth sentence should have read, "We defined a central catheter as a catheter that ends at or near the heart or in a great vessel close to the heart, which included peripherally inserted central catheters, and the teams were explicitly instructed to count the use of multiple lines in one patient as 1 catheter-day, in accordance with the NNIS guidelines," rather than "great vessel close to the heart, and the teams were explicitly instructed to exclude peripherally inserted central catheters and to count the use." The text has been corrected on the Journal's Web site at www.nejm.org.
