  1. mITT modified intent to treat, LZD linezolid, VAN vancomycin, SD standard deviation, n number of subjects, CLcr creatinine clearance, Apache II score Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, ICU intensive care unit, MIC minimum inhibitory concentration
  2. *for continuous variables, one-way analysis of variance was used; for categorical variables, the Chi-square test or Fisher Exact test, as appropriate, were used
