Non-tunneling hemodialysis catheter is one of the most convenient vascular accesses for in End Stage Kidney Disease (ESRD) patients. However, these catheters have highest morbidity among all available accesses. Current guidelines recommend that non-tunneled be placed no more than 2 weeks to prevent bacterial contamination. This study was conducted Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, throughout January-December 2021. A correlation test with a prospective observational analysis design applied find link between duration placement and incidence positive culture on catheter. Pearson used see strength correlation, significance limit 0.05. involved 28 subjects. The common location jugular vein, laboratory examinations showed leukocyte values results. Hypertension diabetes mellitus were not significant risk factors (p-value 0.887). At ≤14 days placement, only 1 (6.7%) subjects presented result. Most results found at 15-30 (n=8; 53.3%). p-value 0.036 an r-value 0.399, indicating result strong two variables. has cultures, which can increase systemic infection associated catheters.
