Characteristics and risk factors of patients and controls in the study of an outbreak of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Ochrobactrum anthropi infections occurring after prostate biopsies, France, 2014*

Physiologic factors
Previously had biopsy 4 (50) 41 (82) 0.07 0.23 (0.044–1.08) –
Inflammatory histology 2 (25) 5 (10) 0.24 3.18 (0.373–17.9) –
Previous localized treatment** 0 10 (20) 0.33 0.23 (0.000–2.09) –
Neoplasic histology 5 (62.5) 41 (82) 0.34 0.36 (0.075–2.04) –

*HIFU, high-intensity focused ultrasound; OR, odds ratio; –, not included in the final multiple regression model.
†p values determined by using the Mann-Whitney U test.
‡For every additional 10 y in age, 5 µg/L (prostate-specific antigen), 20 mL (prostate size), and additional core (number of cores).
§n = 6 for cases, n = 44 for controls.
¶p values determined by using Fisher exact test.
#This variable was not included in the multiple model because it was closely correlated wtih the variable “first patient of the day.”
**Resection or HIFU.
