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
a

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.

b

Day 0 was the day on which the first blood sample positive for A. baumannii by culture was drawn.
