Logistic regression performed for select baseline characteristics in neonates included in the early cohort (n = 3341). Individual variables and their relationship with early-onset bloodstream infection (n = 55) were assessed using univariate logistic regression and multivariable logistic regression. Multiple imputation was used to account for missing data. P values <.05 were considered statistically significant and are in bold.
Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.
