There was a significant interaction between WBC and treatment group in predicting 28-day mortality in both the ACORN trial and the IV study (odds ratio [OR], 0.95 [95% CI, 0.92-0.98], P <.01 and OR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.94-0.96], P <.01, respectively), with likelihood ratio testing revealing better model fit with inclusion of the interaction term (F = 8.17, P =<.01 and F = 42.9, P <.01, respectively). In the ACORN cohort, patients with a baseline WBC count of 16 or higher had significantly lower odds of mortality when treated with piperacillin-tazobactam compared to cefepime (OR, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.29-0.90]).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>WBC modified the effect of antibiotic choice on mortality in 2 large clinical studies.
