  1. The dependent variable is death or discharge alive. The key dependent variable is CAIs or HAIs with at least one resistant bacteria. Other independent variables included in the community-associated infection regression model were patient age, gender and Charlson co-morbidity index. In the healthcare-associated infection models, “post HAIs” and matched cohorts, the other independent variables were patient age, gender, Charlson co-morbidity index, previous exposure to antibiotics, time to infection, transfer to the Intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, insertion of a urinary catheter, insertion of a central venous catheter, appropriateness of antibiotic therapy
  2. Abbreviations: CAIs, community-associated infections; HAIs, healthcare –associated infections
