Predictors of cure at one year in 51 patients with aortic prosthetic vascular graft infections.*

HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval; PVGI = prosthetic vascular graft infection.*Aortic prosthetic vascular graft infections diagnosed in 51 patients in this single-center study of PVGI over a period of almost 12 years.†Multivariate analysis adjusted for age of patient, location of the aortic graft, graft replacement, presence of a polymicrobial infection, and the use of rifampicin in the antibiotic regimen.‡A p-value ≤0.050 was considered significant.§Each 10-year increment of increase in age is associated with a 0.33 risk of less favorable treatment outcome.Predictors of cure at one year in 51 patients with aortic prosthetic vascular graft infections.*
