TABLE 4.
Predictive Model of Invasive Candidiasisa
| Effect | Adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Candida-like dermatitis | 3.22 (1.68, 6.20) | 0.0005 |
| Central catheter | 1.85 (1.08, 3.16) | 0.0242 |
| Vaginal vs. C-section | 1.84 (1.25, 2.70) | 0.0021 |
| Enteral feeding | 1.52 (1.01, 2.28) | 0.0429 |
| Lower gestational age (wk) | 1.29 (1.12, 1.49) | 0.0005 |
| Lowest glucose (50 mg/dl)b | 1.22 (0.99, 1.49) | 0.0603 |
| Lower platelet count (50,000)c | 1.17 (1.06, 1.28) | 0.0012 |
| Antibiotic days | 1.13 (1.05, 1.22) | 0.0013 |
a
Presence of Candida-like dermatitis on exam, mode of delivery, presence of central catheter, enteral feeding, lowest glucose in preceding 24 hours in increments of 50 mg/dl, antibiotic days in week prior to culture, platelet count in increments of 50,000, and gestational age in increments of weeks.
b
Odds of invasive candidiasis increased with increasing blood glucose.
c
Odds of invasive candidiasis increased with decreasing platelet count.
