  1. All independent variables were treated as ordinal variables. OR = exp(B), Wald χ2 statistics (Wald) = \({\left(B/SEB\right)}^{2}\). Wald is a marker of the significance of each coefficient in the applied predictive model.
  2. B unstandardized partial regression coefficient, BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio, SEB standard error of the coefficient, VRE vancomycin-resistant enterococcus.
