Independent day 1 predictors of infection and severe infection.

	OR (95% CI)	P
Independent day 1 predictors of infection (N = 94)
Age (years)	1.06 (1.01–1.11)	.020
NIHSS	1.21 (1.10–1.34)	<.0001
Independent day 1 predictors of serious infection
(versus no infection, N = 74)
NIHSS	1.28 (1.23–1.46)	<.0001
C-reactive protein (mg/L)	1.03 (1.0–1.06)	.053

Binary logistic regression was used to calculate P values and adjusted odds ratios (with 95% confidence intervals).
