In multiple logistic regression, the following variables were associated with an increased mortality risk: central-line\u2013associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI; aOR, 2.36; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001), ventilator-associated event (VAE; aOR, 1.51; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001), catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI; aOR, 1.04; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001), and female sex (aOR, 1.06; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001). Older age increased mortality risk by 1% per year (aOR, 1.01; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001). Length of stay (LOS) increased mortality risk by 1% per bed day (aOR, 1.01; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001). Central-line days increased mortality risk by 2% per central-line day (aOR, 1.02; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001). Urinary catheter days increased mortality risk by 4% per urinary catheter day (aOR, 1.04; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001). The highest mortality risks were associated with mechanical ventilation utilization ratio (aOR, 12.48; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001), upper middle-income country (aOR, 1.09; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .033), surgical hospitalization (aOR, 2.17; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001), pediatric oncology ICU (aOR, 9.90; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001), and adult oncology ICU (aOR, 4.52; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001).

Some other variables can be modified, such as LOS, central-line use, urinary catheter use, and mechanical ventilation as well as and acquisition of CLABSI, VAE, or CAUTI. To reduce mortality risk, we shall focus on strategies to reduce LOS; strategies to reduce central-line, urinary catheter, and mechanical ventilation use; and HAI prevention
