The denominator for prevalence values was the number of patients with or without the indicated compromising condition. 

b

For comparisons between patients with versus patients without the indicated type of host compromise, P values (by Fisher's exact test) shown only where <0.10. (Parentheses indicate negative associations of iha with host compromise.) 

c

Including diabetes mellitus, cancer, immunosuppression, and uremia. 

d

Preexisting functional or anatomic abnormality of the urinary tract. 

e

Any of the above conditions, i.e., medical illness or urinary tract abnormality or instrumentation. 

f

Among patients without the indicated host compromise condition, for prevalence of iha versus iroNE. coli, P < 0.02 (McNemar's test). Among patients with the indicated host compromise condition, P > 0.10 for all comparisons of iha versus iroNE. coli

g

Among patients without the indicated host compromise condition, for prevalence of iha versus iroNE. coli, 0.05 < P < 0.10 (McNemar's test). Among patients with the indicated host compromise condition, P > 0.10 for all comparisons of iha versus iroNE. coli

h

Among patients without the indicated host compromise condition, for prevalence of iha versus iroNE. coli, and P < 0.05 (McNemar's test). Among patients with the indicated host compromise condition, P > 0.10 for all comparisons of iha versus iroNE. coli
