Table 4.
Multivariable Models of Predictors Associated with Coinfection in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19a
| Variable | OR (95% CI) | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| Community-onset coinfection (N=2,131) | ||
| Admitted from long-term care facility | 3.98 (2.34–6.76) | <.001 |
| Admitted to intensive care unit | 4.34 (2.87–6.55) | <.001 |
| Hospital-acquired coinfection (N=2,138) | ||
| Feverb | 2.46 (1.15–5.27) | .02 |
| Highest level of respiratory support | ||
| None | Reference | |
| Low-flow oxygen (eg, nasal canula, face mask) | 2.27 (0.57–9.03) | .25 |
| High-flow oxygen, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation | 5.37 (1.57–18.35) | .01 |
| Invasive mechanical ventilation | 40.72 (13.49–122.93) | <.001 |
Note. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
a
Community-onset and hospital-acquired coinfection were modeled separately.
b
During hospitalization up to time of culture.
