Table 3. Analysis of factors predicting mortality of study patients with A. baumannii bacteremia by multivariate Cox's proportional hazard modela.
Covariate | P value | Adjusted hazard ratio | 95% Confidence interval |
Pitt bacteremia score | 0.02 | 1.29 | 1.04–1.60 |
Change of Oxa-51 DNA, day 0b – day 3(Δ log copies/mL/day) | 0.004 | 1.87 | 1.22–2.85 |
Maximum Oxa-51 DNA, day 0b – day 3(log copies/mL) | 0.09 | 1.52 | 0.94–2.45 |
Test of proportional-hazards assumption: P = 0.14>0.05, Groennesby and Borgan GOF test P = 0.23>0.05, adjusted generalized R2 = 0.405.
Day 0 was the day on which the first blood sample positive for A. baumannii by culture was drawn.
