Results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis on the impact of the anti-infective strategies (I)–(III) on the detection of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE).
Variable | Detection of VRE | |
---|---|---|
OR (95% CI) | p-Value | |
Antibiotic prophylaxis (vs. G-CSF support) | 17.38 (2.24–134.68) | 0.01 |
No prophylaxis (vs. G-CSF support) | 10.75 (1.12–103.43) | 0.04 |
Age (per ten years) | 1.53 (0.68–3.44) | 0.30 |
ASCT at relapse (vs. first-line treatment) | 2.79 (0.62–12.51) | 0.18 |
≥VGPR before ASCT (vs. ≤PR) | 2.12 (0.58–7.83) | 0.26 |
Stem cell amount ≥ 2.5 * (vs. <2.5) | 0.46 (0.11–1.99) | 0.30 |
Abbreviations: ASCT, autologous stem cell transplantation; CI, confidence interval; OR; Odds Ratio; VGPR, very good partial remission; * ≥2.5 × 106 CD34+ cells per kg of body weight.
