| Charlson score ≥ 3 | 13 (33.3) | 10 (47.6) | 1.82 (0.62-5.38) | 0.28 |
| Transplant receipt | 7 (17.9) | 6 (28.6) | 0.55 (0.16-1.91) | 0.35 |
| Prior corticosteroid use | 24 (61.5) | 14 (66.7) | 0.80 (0.26-2.44) | 0.69 |
| Prior surgery | 27 (69.2) | 10 (47.6) | 2.48 (0.83-7.39) | 0.10 |
| Dialysis | 4 (10.3) | 8 (38.1) | 0.19 (0.05-0.72) | 0.01 |

| APACHE II score, mean, on admission | 16.2 | 22.4 | 1.39 (−10.65-1.65) | 0.009 |
| SOFA score, mean, on admission | 5.6 | 7.7 | 3.59 (−4.54 -0.27) | 0.08 |
| Vasopressor drug use | 1 (2.6) | 6 (28.6) | 15.2 (1.68-137.15) | 0.006 |
| Mechanical ventilation | 5 (12.8) | 7 (33.3) | 3.40 (0.92-12.55) | 0.09 |

| Carbapenem resistance | 10 (25.6) | 10 (47.6) | 2.64 (0.86-8.07) | 0.085 |
Univariable analysis demonstrated that risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality among patients with K. pneumoniae infection included receiving dialysis, elevated APACHE scores, and vasopressor drug administration. Figures in parentheses represent percentage values unless otherwise stated.
