Factors influencing treatment success of negative pressure wound therapy in patients with postoperative infections after Osteosynthetic fracture fixation

Table 4 Logistic regression models on the outcome parameter “infection cured”

Cure of Infection		Multiple logistic regression model^a
Influencing Parameters	vs.	OR	[95% CI]	p
CRP – discharge ≤ 20 mg/l	> 20 mg/l	3.6	[1.31-10.08]	0.0134
Change of microbial strain Yes	No	3.2	[1.13-8.99]	0.0289

All p-values presented are two-tailed, and p-values lower than 0.05 were considered statistically significant, 95% confidence level (CI)
^aoutcome: infection cured (yes/no), independent variables: CRP – discharge (≤20 mg/l vs. >20mg/l), change in microbial strain (yes/no), and survival of the implant until bony consolidation (yes/no)
