Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 9 software. A Chi-square test (or a Fisher’s exact test when necessary) was performed to compare the final prevalences among groups according to each sample modality. Association between fungal detection and qualitative variables (extrinsic factors, clinical examination, clinical status) was evaluated with a Chi-square test, as well as odds ratio, sensitivity, specificity and predictive values. Association between fungal detection and quantitative variables (neutrophil proportions) was determined using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. Values of P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
