colonization using an augmented logistic model. Predictors included PSMS score, diabetes, presence of both a feeding tube and urinary catheter, P. mirabilis colonization, Pseudomonas fluorescens colonization, length of stay at baseline, and number of follow-up days. Because length of stay measured at baseline and number of


follow-up days were highly correlated with the other pre- dictors, they were not included in the final augmented model. Individuals with a length of stay of at least 30 days (time at the

facility prior to enrollment in the study) were 5.6 times more likely to be colonized withMDR A. baumannii than those with shorter length of stay (95% CI, 1.8–17.1; P<.003). Similarly, those with at least 60 days of follow-up were 6.1 times more likely to be colonized (95% CI, 2.1–17.5; P<.002). The final augmented model indicated that the most robust effects were functional disability (PSMS score >24), colonization with P. mirabilis, and diabetes (Table 4). Those with high functional disability were 5.1 times more likely to be colonized withMDR A. baumannii (95% CI, 1.8–14.9; P<.004). Being colonized with P. mirabilis was associated with a 5.8 greater likelihood of MDR A. baumannii colonization (95% CI, 1.9–17.9; P<.003), and diabetic participants were 3.4 times more likely to be colonized (1.2–9.9; P<.03).
