a

CI, confidence interval.

b

OR after introducing a multiplicative interaction term between recent hospitalization and any antibiotic received in the prior 60 days.

c

OR after introducing a multiplicative interaction term between recent intensive care unit stay and any antibiotic received in the prior 60 days.

d

P values adjusted for a 5% false-discovery rate via the Benjamini-Hochberg method.

e

Individual prior antibiotics were substituted for cumulative antibiotics in the final model. See Table 2 for individual antibiotics.
