ESBL-PE: extended-spectrum β lactamase-producing Enterobacterales; NA: Not applicable.

a For calculations of the Hosmer–Lemeshow statistic and the area under the curve (AUC), logistic regression analyses including the classifying variable, i.e. ESBL-prediction positive or negative, into the regression model was performed.

b Including history of ESBL-PE colonisation or infection, admission from another healthcare facility, and antibiotic therapy with β-lactams or fluoroquinolones lasting > 48 h during the 3 months preceding admission.

c Selected by lasso regression and recursive partitioning algorithms (decision tree statistics).

d Both the positive and the negative predictive values are influenced by the study design and thus have to be interpreted with caution.

e Ranging from 0.83 (derivation cohort) to 0.92 (validation cohort).

f Reported as 0.77 in the original publication (for the final decision tree and following cross-validation).

g k-fold cross-validation.
