Table 6. Univariate and multivariate linear correlation analysis between gender (dependence variable) with independence variables such as: MRSA, MSSA, Streptococci, VSE, CoNS, MR-CoNS, MDR E.coli, VRE, Candida albicans, Neisseria elongata subsp. Nitroreducens, Brucella spp., and Propionibacterium acnes; and gender with independence variables such as: heart complications, cerebral embolism septic, pulmonary emboli, major arterial embolism, and splenic infarction.
Rpartial = -0.478; p-value = 0.0009 *
* = significant test; R = Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient; R_partial = the partial correlation coefficient is the coefficient of correlation of the variable with the dependent variable, adjusted for the effect of the other variables in the mode; MRSA = methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus; MSSA = methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus; MR-CoNS = methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci resistant; VSE = vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus spp.; N. el. Subsp. Nitr. = Neisseria elongata subsp. nitroreducens
