  1. Data are numbers (%)
  2. The correlation between ventilator-associated events and VAT could not be calculated because of the small number of patients with VAC and VAT (n = 6)
  3. IVAC, infection-related ventilator-associated condition; p, probable; VAC, ventilator-associated condition; VAP, ventilator-associated pneumonia; VAT, ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis
