*UTI was defined according to the CDC criteria [18]. Among 499 patients, 321 (64.3%) met the CDC criteria for UTI, whereas the remaining 178 (35.7%) patients were designated as a non-UTI group.

Variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate analysis.

Abbreviations: CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; CI, confidence interval; Cns-CPPA, carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa; Cns-nCPPA, carbapenem-non-susceptible and non-carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa; CRP, C-reactive protein; CsPA, carbapenem-susceptible P. aeruginosa; DM, diabetes mellitus; OR, odds ratio; UTI, urinary tract infection; WBC, white blood cell; NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; LD, lactate dehydrogenase.
