197 Chapter nine Supplemental Table 9. Multivariate model with death within 3 days of ICU admission as a competing risk for the outcome ‘infection’ Multiple mixed logistic regression model (Hospitals as random intercept) aOR (95% CI), p value Prophylaxis + age + SOFA + asthma/COPD + time to ROSC + immunosuppression 0.55 (0.20 to 1.47), 0.22 A*. Model adjusted for death in the first three days (without pneumonia) 0.55 (0.24 to 1.25), 0.15 B*. Model adjusted for death in the first three days (with pneumonia) 0.52 (0.21 to 1.27), 0.15 * Model A outcome adjusted; all patients died in the first three days are relabelled as not having pneumonia. * Model B outcome adjusted; all patients died in the first three days are relabelled as having pneumonia. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. aOR, adjusted odds ratio. SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment. ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation. Supplemental Figure 1 . Beta coefficients of 3 multivariate models accounting for the effect of mortality within 3 days of ICU admission. The comparison of models by standardized beta coefficients shows that only the sofa score will be influenced if all patients that died in the first three days of admission would have had a pneumonia.
