*Reflects the increase in the odds of lack of pleocytosis for each 4-week increase in age.
†Reflects the increase in the odds of lack of pleocytosis for each 500-cell increase in WBC/Neutrophil count.
‡Reflects the increase in the odds of lack of pleocytosis for each 24-h increase in time.
ANC, absolute neutrophil count; aOR, adjusted OR; CI, confidence interval.
