Summary of fever clearance time by Salmonella Typhi lineage and ciprofloxacin susceptibility.
Fever clearance time | Gatifloxacin median (IQR) days | Ceftriaxone median (IQR) days | Acceleration factor (95%CI); p value | Heterogeneity test (p value) |
---|---|---|---|---|
H58¥ | 0.07 | |||
- H58 | 5.03 (3.18, 7.21) | 3.07 (1.89 ,4.52) | 1.59 (1.22, 2.09); p=0.0006 | |
- Non-H58 | 2.87 (2.08, 3.7) | 3.12 (2.2, 4.12) | 0.90 (0.59, 1.36); p=0.61 | |
Ciprofloxacin susceptibility group‡ | 0.015 | |||
- Susceptible | 2.96 (2.13, 3.85) | 4.78 (4.01, 5.5) | 0.71 (0.49, 1.02); p=0.07 | |
- Intermediate | 4.01 (2.76, 5.37) | 2.63 (1.52, 4.05) | 1.31 (0.97, 1.76); p=0.07 | |
- Resistant | 8.2 (5.99, 10.5) | 3.83 (2.96, 4.7) | 2.23 (1.57, 3.17); p<0.0001 |
¥p=0.013 and p=0.029 for comparison of interval censored time to fever clearance between H58 vs. non-H58 groups in gatifloxacin arm only and in all patients, respectively.
‡p<0.0001 for comparison of interval censored time to fever clearance between MIC groups in gatifloxacin arm only.
