Logistic regression performed for select baseline characteristics in neonates included in the late cohort (n = 3178). Individual variables and their relationship with late-onset bloodstream infection (n = 176) 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.
