Distinct T-helper cell responses to Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia reflect immunologic comorbidities and correlate with mortality

Table 3 Associations between neutrophils, lymphocytes, and helper T cell scores early after infection and death during the first 90 days after Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia

	Associations between each variable and death during first 90 days after infection			Multivariable model
	HR	95% CI	p Value	HR	95% CI	p Value
Th17 score/Th1 score at time point 1	1.16	1.05–1.28	0.004	1.13	1.01–1.27	0.03
Th17 score/Th2 score at time point 1	1.20	1.03–1.40	0.02	NS	NS	NS
Neutrophils/lymphocytes on first day of bacteremia	1.94	1.18–3.2	0.009	1.93	1.17–3.17	0.01

Associations between each variable and death were determined using a Cox proportional hazards model. NS signifies a variable that was removed from the model for a p value > 0.05
