Table 4 Comparative analysis of catheter displacement and occlusion complications
| Parameter | Experimental group (n = 103) | Control group (n = 113) | Statistics | P value |
| Incidence rate | ||||
| Catheter displacement | 1.6% (2/103) | 5.7% (6/113) | χ2 = 2.417 | 0.03a |
| Catheter occlusion | 1.6% (2/103) | 4.1% (5/113) | χ2 = 1.037 | 0.309 |
| Displacement characteristics | ||||
| Time of occurrence (months) | 2.7 ± 0.3 | 1.3 ± 0.5 | t = 6.32 | < 0.001b |
| Minor displacement (< 2 cm) | 100% (2/2) | 66.7% (4/6) | χ2 = 1.143 | 0.285 |
| Major displacement (> 3 cm) | 0% (0/2) | 33.3% (2/6) | χ2 = 1.143 | 0.285 |
| Adjusted under X-ray | 100% (2/2) | 66.7% (4/6) | χ2 = 1.143 | 0.285 |
| Required surgical replacement | 0% (0/2) | 33.3% (2/6) | χ2 = 1.143 | 0.285 |
| Occlusion characteristics | ||||
| Chemotherapy-related | 100% (2/2) | 40% (2/5) | χ2 = 2.500 | 0.114 |
| Related to inadequate flushing | 0% (0/2) | 60% (3/5) | χ2 = 3.333 | 0.068 |
| Recovered with urokinase | 100% (2/2) | 80% (4/5) | χ2 = 0.556 | 0.456 |
