Covariate OR (95% CI) p value
ED stay >2 d 5.85 (1.94–17.65) 0.002
Transfer from another hospital 2.10 (0.95–4.78) 0.076
SAPS 3 score 1.02 (1.003–1.03) 0.02
Carbapenem use on ICU admission, initiated >48 h before ICU admission 4.78 (1.31–17.47) 0.02
Infection at ICU admission 2.86 (1.08–7.55) 0.03
Upper digestive endoscopy 16.40 (2.16–124.50) 0.01

*Model using length of ED stay as dichotomous variable. OR, odds ratio; ED, emergency department; ICU, intensive care unit; SAPS 3, Simplified Acute Physiology Score III.
