Only another patient developed an attributable multi-resistant ICU infection.
Familial factors are more strongly associated with substance dependence than abuse, with an attributable risk of 55%.
If there is an omental mass along with clinical signs of leukocytosis and fever without an attributable source, biopsy/aspiration can determine the aetiology (Fig. 23).
CR-BSIs were associated with an attributable mortality of 0%to11.5%5% [2] and an additional stay length of 9-12 days [3, 4].
Hospital-wide, this amounts to as many as 250,000 cases annually, with an attributable mortality between 12 25% for each infection [11].
ICI is a very severe disease with an attributable mortality in children between 20%to30%0% [5, 12], and a mortality rate among children with ICI between 16% to 31% [5].
In the continuum of VREF infections, bacteremia is of special interest, given that overall mortality rates may reach values higher than 60% with an attributable mortality of around 40%.
Each event incurred an attributable cost.
Results (Table 5) are presented as both a relative risk and an attributable risk.
One outlier was found to have an attributable cost of $3.6 million (Potti et al., 2006).
Among children <18 years of age, male sex was associated with an attributable risk of 0.64.
