  1. CI confidence interval, ICU intensive care unit
  2. aOdds ratio (OR) from Chi-square test is used for categorical variables, negative binomial models are used to test for differences between means for count variables (number of events and length of stay). Statistical comparisons are comparing Cohort 3 (pneumonia due to S. aureus) with Cohort 1 (no pneumonia, reference group); ie, Difference = mean (Cohort 3) − mean (Cohort 1) and OR = Odds (Cohort 3)/Odds (Cohort 1)
  3. bOdds ratio (OR) from Chi-square test is used for categorical variables, negative binomial models are used to test for differences between means for count variables (number of events and length of stay). Statistical comparisons are comparing Cohort 4 (pneumonia due to P. aeruginosa) to Cohort 1 (no pneumonia, reference group); ie, Difference = mean (Cohort 4) – mean (Cohort 1) and OR = Odds (Cohort 4)/Odds (Cohort 1)
