Derivation and validation of a simple score to predict the presence of bacteria requiring carbapenem treatment in ICU-acquired bloodstream infection and pneumonia: CarbaSCORE

Table 5 Variables independently associated with “presence of bacteria requiring carbapenem treatment” in multivariate analysis

Variable	Adjusted Odds Ratios [CI 95%]	p	Points
Bloodstream infection	2.55 [1.05–6.18]	0.04	2
Chronic hemodialysis	3.44 [0.97–12.18]	0.056	4
Travel abroad in the last 6 months	4.02 [1.56–10.37]	0.004	5
MDR colonization or use of a β-lactam class ≥3 (in the 3 months prior to infection)	5.27 [2.17–12.81]	< 0.001	6

CI Confidence Interval. Hosmer-Lemeshow test value was p = 0.86. Nagelkerke and Cox/Snell R² were 0.22 and 0.10, respectively
