In-hospital mortality. Random effects meta-analysis of the effect of single-drug antifungal prophylaxis (SAP) and selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) on all-cause in-hospital mortality (per patient) in adult non-neutropenic patients. Test for overall effect: SAP: Z = 1.97 (p = 0.05); SDD: Z = 2.92 (p = 0.004); both groups combined: Z = 3.72 (p < 0.001). Difference in pooled odds ratios (ORs) between SAP and SDD studies, test for interaction p = 0.58. CI, confidence interval.
