Proportional Hazards Models for Bloodstream Infection Clearance
Variable | Hazard Ratio (95% CI) | P Value |
---|---|---|
Cause-specific hazard modela | ||
Vancomycin + cefepime | 1.408 (1.125–1.762) | .003 |
Endovascular source | 0.542 (0.418–0.703) | <.001 |

Vancomycin + cefepime | 1.264 (1.040–1.536) | .019 |
Endovascular source | 0.569 (0.457–0.708) | <.001 |
Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.
aAfrican American race, unknown source, invasive prosthetic device source, bone/joint source, lower respiratory tract source, intravenous drug use, chronic hemodialysis, and acute kidney injury were all included at model entry but did not meet criteria for retention.
aBased on the results of the cause-specific model, only vancomycin + cefepime and endovascular were included in the model.
