Cox regression analysis for prognostic factors according to 90-day mortality in 357 patients with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus bacteraemia (SAB) with at least one deep infection focus.

Patients with alcoholism, acute or chronic liver diseases, lack of deep infection foci, MRSA bacteraemia (n = 6) or a fatal outcome within 3 days have been excluded. Values are expressed as N (%) and odds ratio (OR) for fatal outcome within 90 days. NS = non-significant.1 Cox regression analysis results are shown only for parameters with significant prognostic impact (pA Classification according to McCabe and Jackson [32].B Severity of illness at blood culture collection time pointC Endocarditis diagnosed within 90 days follow-up.D Fluoroquinolone: levo-, moxi- or ciprofloxacin.E Including all patients with rifampicin therapy of any length.F Early onset i.e. onset within 7 days of positive blood culture.G Late onset i.e. onset 7 days after positive blood culture.H Infectious diseases specialist (IDS) consultationCox regression analysis for prognostic factors according to 90-day mortality in 357 patients with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus bacteraemia (SAB) with at least one deep infection focus.
