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.
