Analysis of factors influencing urinary 3-IS concentrations

3-IS median (range)P
Use of antibiotics   
 Gut decontamination: rifaximin vs Cipro/Metro (74/56) 12.9 (0.0-101.9) vs 5.3 (0.0-40.2) .008 
 Systemic antibiotics in case of neutropenic infections before ASCT (55/71): without or with 13.7 (0.0-63.6) vs 0.3 (0.0-101.9) <.0001 
Conditioning: RIC vs standard (112/19) 8.4 (0.0-101.9) vs 2.4 (0.0-29.6) NS 
NOD2/CARD15 genotype: wild type (104)/risk allele (26) 9.2 (0.0-101.9) vs 0.6 (0.0-20.9) .002 
Stage of underlying disease: early or intermediate (85)/late (45) 6.6 (0-63.6) vs 6.9 (0-101.9) NS 
Patient age ≤50 y (49)/>50 y (81) 4.5 (0-59.4) vs 11.9 (0-101.9) NS

Significant differences in urinary 3-IS levels were observed depending on the antibiotics administered for gut decontamination, the use of systemic antibiotics prior to ASCT, and NOD2/CARD15 genotype, respectively. Parentheses indicate number of valid cases; in 4 cases, no data for systemic antibiotic therapy prior to ASCT were available. Significance level <.05.

Cipro/Metro, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole; NS, not significant; RIC, reduced intensity conditioning.
