Association Between Potential Predictor Variables and Mortality Among Patients With S. aureus Bloodstream Infection (n=119)^a

Variable, on the day of first positive blood culture	Adjusted OR	95% CI	p-value
PITT bacteremia score	2.439	1.565–3.803	<0.001
Lymphocyte count, day of first positive blood culture	0.236	0.064–0.872	0.031
Age	1.043	0.994–1.094	0.081

^aThe final multivariable model was able to distinguish between mortality and survival with a good area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.9046 (95% CI 0.8279–0.9814; p < .001).

The final model did not reach significance with the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (final model; p = 0.834), indicating that the overall model fit is good.
