Objective: To investigate the risk factors associated with the peripheral venous catheter-related complication and infection in children with bronchopneumonia.

Methods: A total of 185 patients were divided into case group (n = 114) and control group (n = 71) according to the presence of catheter-related infection and complications related to indwelling needle.
