Sensitivity Analyses Assessing Odds of Hospital-Onset C. difficile Infection (HO-CDI) While Varying the Length of Time We Considered the Bed to be Contaminated for After Prior Occupant Tested Positive for C. difficile
Variable | 60 Days Adjusted OR a (95%CI) |
30 Days Adjusted OR a (95% CI) |
14 Days Adjusted OR a (95% CI) |
7 Days Adjusted OR a (95% CI) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Exposure to contaminated bed | 1.3 (1.0–1.8) | 1.6 (1.1–2.2) | 1.6 (1.0–2.4) | 1.5 (0.9–2.7) |
Note. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; ICU, intensive care unit.
Adjusted for ICU admission and time at risk prior to HO-CDI or discharge, whichever occurred first.
