Abbreviation: BSI, bloodstream infection; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.

First event and last event are used for incidence and mortality, respectively. Mortality defined as death within 30 days of BSI. All analyses are Cox proportional hazards analyses adjusting for age at first HUNT participation, sex, and first 5 ancestry-informative principal components. The analyses compare genotype group to TT or the effect of each additional C allele (using dosages).
