Aetiology of Bacteraemia as a Risk Factor for Septic Shock at the Onset of Febrile Neutropaenia in Adult Cancer Patients

Table 4

Multiple logistic regression analysis of the risk factors for septic shock (SS) at the time of febrile neutropenia (FN) in hospitalised adult cancer patients.

Risk factor	Adjusted OR	95% CI	𝑃 value
Model 1
Polymicrobial BSI	5.41	1.48–19.79	0.01
Model 2
BSI by Escherichia coli	4.30	1.27–14.48	0.01
BSI by viridans streptococci	7.58	1.34–42.80	0.02

OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; BSI: bloodstream infection.
