Effects of etomidate on complications related to intubation and on mortality in septic shock patients treated with hydrocortisone: a propensity score analysis

Table 3 Long-term outcome according to the hypnotic used to facilitate intubation

	Etomidate cohort (n= 60)	Non-etomidate cohort (n= 42)	P value
Number of nosocomial infections	38 (100)	22 (100)	0.84
Pneumonia	20 (53)	10 (45)	0.30
Urinary tract infections	10 (26)	7 (32)	> 0.99
Central venous catheter-related infections	8 (21)	5 (23)	0.81
Length of mechanical ventilation (days)	5 (2 to 14.8)	5 (1 to 7)	0.10
ICU length of stay (days)	12 (6 to 22)	9 (4 to 13)	0.06
Hospital length of stay (days)	32 (22 to 50)	29 (19 to 45)	0.18
Mortality at day 28	17 (28)	14 (33)	0.59

Data presented as number (%) or median (quartiles). Nosocomial infections are expressed as the total number during the ICU stay and results are expressed as the percentage of total nosocomial infections that came out during the ICU stay. Patients could develop more than one infection during the ICU stay.
