Cumulative incidence of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation and death according to eABT. eABT was the first line of antibiotic therapy introduced during the first 24 h of ICU admission. Continuous lines are cumulative incidence function curves of the probability of being successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation modelled with univariate Fine and Gray regression accounting for the competitive risk of death, with eABT as the independent variable. Broken lines are cumulative incidence function curves of the probability of dying in the ICU. Shaded areas are 95% confidence intervals. eABT early antibiotic therapy, SHR subdistribution hazard ratio, CI95% 95% confidence interval, ICU intensive care unit
