| OR (95% CI) a | p Value b | |
|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 0.05 (0.00–0.51) | 0.011 |
| Antibiotic therapy (yes vs. no) | 1.23 (0.53–2.81) | 0.630 |
| Time | ||
| 6 vs. 2 months | 0.24 (0.13–0.44) | <0.001 |
| 12 vs. 6 months | 0.50 (0.25–0.98) | 0.043 |
| Sex (male vs. female) | 0.47 (0.20–1.08) | 0.075 |
| Age, years | 1.05 (1.00–1.10) | 0.058 |
| Charlson comorbidity index | 0.53 (0.32–0.87) | 0.012 |

Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio for incomplete response; CI, confidence interval. a Estimated from a multiple logistic regression model with incomplete recovery as the dependent variable, adjusted for patient effect. Each OR is adjusted for all other variables in the table. b p < 0.05 was considered significant.
