A logistic regression model was used to determine the association between PA pathogen factors and 30-d and 90-d ICU mortality in late samples collected ≥4 d from the index ICU admission date. The early and late subgroups were determined using a finite mixture model. CCI = Charlson Co-morbidity Index; MDR = multidrug-resistant; mSOFA = modified sequential organ failure assessment score; XDR = extensively drug resistant.

a

The 30-d mortality model was adjusted for age, sex, and mSOFA.

b

The 90-d mortality model was adjusted for age, sex, mSOFA, and CCI. P < .05 are in bold.

c

n = 81 for MDR/XDR and polymicrobial.
