The Effect of Vancomycin and Third-Generation Cephalosporins on Prevalence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in 126 U.S. Adult Intensive Care Units

Figure. values were determined for the Spearman correlation coefficient ( = 0.44 [95% CI, 0.29 to 0.57]) and weighted linear regression (parameter estimate = 0.08;  = 0.001).
