Higher concordance of collection date and admission date for females than for males. Cumulative probability curves of the collection date being within X days of the admission date are shown for all locations and sexes grouped by the test type – all tests combined (A), bacterial/fungal culture positives (B), all viral testing (C). Samples from women were significantly more likely to be collected on the exact admission date (73.7 versus 63.9%, P = 2.2e-16) and closer to the admission date (D = 0.089916, P = 0.0137) than those from men.
