Table 2.
Types of infections and distribution of common pathogens.
| Variable | Percentage | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| Bacterial infection | 60% | ** |
| Fungal infection | 15% | * |
| Viral infection | 10% | * |
| Mixed infection / Unspecified | 15% | * |
| Antibiotics | All patients received broad-spectrum antibiotics as part of standard care | *** |
| Broad-spectrum antibiotic usage | 85% | ** |
| Glucocorticoid usage | 40% | * |
| Immunomodulatory therapy usage | 20% | * |
| Average Hospital Stay (Days) | 14 days (range: 7–30) | *** |
| ICU Stay (Days) | 10 days | ** |
*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; NS = Not significant (P ≥ 0.05). Unspecified infections include cases with no detected pathogens and those with potential non-infectious inflammatory etiologies. Statistical comparisons were performed using chi-square tests for categorical variables and Fisher’s exact tests where applicable (e.g., small sample sizes). p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. ICU = Intensive Care Unit.
