SAB, Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. CCI, Charlson comorbidity index. AUC, area under the curve.

a

Data denote Odds ratio (95% confidence interval); P value from Wald test.

b

Data denote P value from Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test.

c

Data denote the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (95% confidence interval).
