Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; ICUAC, intensive care unit-associated candidemia; CVC, central venous catheter. 1 Only the variables that were statistically significant (p < 0.05) are listed. The results of univariate analysis are listed in Supplementary Table S2 (A–D). 2 Only mortality-predictive factors of non-ICUAC that were commonly found in both ICUAC and non-ICUAC are listed here. All independent predictive factors related to 7-, 30-, and 90-day mortalities of non-ICUAC are listed in Supplementary Table S3.
