Association of clinical risk factors with first UTI in the SCIentinel study. Relative hazards (95% CI) for first UTI in the SCIentinel study using Cox regression models. Both models account for the changing relationship between PI and UTI over time: model (a) uses stratification by PI status, while model (b) directly estimates the time-varying association. Both models used demographics and clinical characteristics (age, sex, neurological level of injury, severity of injury, presence of accompanying injury, and PI). Reference categories are listed after ‘vs.’. Overall, 70 patients with SCI were included in these analyses. Abbreviations: acc. Injury = accompanying injury, AIS = American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, NLI = neurological level of injury, PI = pulmonary infection, UTI = urinary tract infection.
