Outcome	Point estimate	95% CI	P value
Excess hospital LOS (days) following onset of CBSI*	7.7	0.6-13.5	0.015
Excess hospital costs ($)†	$13,398	$1,060-$26,736	0.033

Based on generalized linear models with gamma distribution

*Generalized linear model, adjusted for all covariates with p < 0.2 in the univariate analysis plus age, APACHE II score, need for mechanical ventilation and need for pressors; manual backwards elimination to arrive at most parsimonious model

†Generalized linear model, adjusted for all covariates with p < 0.2 in the univariate analysis plus age and time from hospital admission to CBSI onset, APACHE II score, need for mechanical ventilation and need for pressors; manual backwards elimination to arrive at most parsimonious model
