Influence of antibiotic-regimens on intensive-care unit-mortality and liver-cirrhosis as risk factor

Figure 1 Impact of appropriate and inappropriate antimicrobial-therapy on in hospital-mortality. Culture+: Culture-positive infection; Culture-: Culture-negative infection; Bacteremia+: Patients with positive blood cultures; Bacteremia-: Patients with negative blood cultures; Gram+: Culture-positive for gram-positive bacteria; Gram-: Culture-positive for gram-negative bacteria; Yeast+: Culture-positive for yeast; MRB: Multiresistant-bacteria.

Figure 2 49% of patients with liver-cirrhosis and infection died in hospital, compared to 25% with liver-cirrhosis and without infection. The plot shows the log odds ratio (0.8063, marked by the dot) and its 95%CI [(0.1086-1.5039), marked by the whiskers], i.e. patients with liver-cirrhosis and infection had a 2.24 greater in-hospital-mortality than patients with liver-cirrhosis without infection.
