Figure 1. Extended Kaplan-Meier Curve of S. aureus Bacteremia Based on Infectious Diseases Consultation.

Figure 1

Note. ID, infectious diseases.

Extended Kaplan-Meier curves did not correspond to fixed patient cohorts, but allowed for the cohorts to be updated at each event time. The patient without an infectious disease consultation was included in one curve, until consultation was obtained and the patient is then included in the consultation curve. Adjusted hazard ratio for 28-day mortality was 0.44 (P =.022) and the crude hazard ratio for 29-365 day mortality was 0.88 (P =.579).
