Factors Associated With 1-Year All-Cause Mortality After Multivariable Conditional Logistic Regression Analysis Among 117 Patients With Nocardiosis After Solid Organ Transplantation
| Characteristic | Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| History of tumora | 1.4 (1.1–1.8) | .02 |
| Fungal infectionb in the 6 months before diagnosis | 1.3 (1.1–1.5) | <.01 |
| Donor age (per year) | 1.0046 (1.0007–1.0083) |
.02 |
| Acute rejection episode in the year before diagnosis | 0.85 (0.73–0.98) | .03 |
aDefined as a nonmetastatic tumor (if active or initially treated in the 5 years before diagnosis of nocardiosis; n = 7) or metastatic solid tumor (n = 1).
bNineteen patients experienced at least 1 invasive fungal infection (10 aspergillosis, 3 mucormycosis, 3 invasive candidiasis, 2 Alternaria spp., 1 Fusarium spp., 1 Scedosporium spp., 1 Pneumocystis).
