*, age was used as a qualitative variable with a breakpoint 55 yrs; **, adequacy of prophylactic antibiotics. Appropriate antimicrobial treatment is defined as the use of agents with in vitro activity against the etiologic pathogens based on our hospital diagnostic laboratory results (18). BMI, body mass index; SC, sputum culture; MDR, multidrug resistance; BTT, bridge to transplantation; OR, odds ratio.
