1.
The basic pLCM (partially-Latent Class Model):
4
ANISA statistical methodology was an extension of the basic partially-Latent Class Model (pLCM) developed by
5
Wu et al for the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) to estimate the proportion of
6
pneumonia infections attributed to specific pathogens.1,2 The structure of the basic pLCM used in ANISA can be
7
summarized as below.
8
Suppose there are ๐พ targeted pathogens (as on the TAC cards or isolated by blood culture in ANISA) each with
9
one diagnostic test ๐ , ๐ = 1, โฆ ๐พ that produces binary (positive vs negative, or 1 vs. 0) test result ๐ฆ for
10
case ๐, ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐. We add one extra class (referred to throughout as โOther/Noneโ) for other pathogenic or
11
non-pathogenic causes and code it as class (๐พ + 1). If we assume each individual case has only one etiology
12
cause from the ๐พ + 1 classes, then the population of cases can be considered as a mixture of subpopulations
13
with etiology ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐พ, ๐พ + 1. Let ๐ be the true (unobserved) etiology of case ๐, ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐, then the
14
objective of the model is to estimate probability ๐ = ๐(๐ = ๐), ๐ = 1,2, โฆ , ๐พ, ๐พ + 1, using the observed
15
binary test results {๐ฆ , ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐พ; ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐}. Here 0 โค ๐ โค 1 and โ
16
pathogen proportion throughout.
17
pLCM expresses the probability of observing {๐ฆ } through a linear mixture model with {๐ } as the mixing
18
coefficients. By applying the regular conditional independence assumption for such linear mixture class models
19
with unknown (latent) classes, and a further assumption that the probability of test ๐ to produce positive test
20
result depends only on whether pathogen ๐ is the true etiology of the tested case, the linear mixture can be
21
simplified as:
๐ = 1. We refer to ๐ as
22 23
๐(๐ฆ , ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐พ; ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐) = โ
(โ
๐ ๐
(1 โ ๐ )
โ

24 25
Here parameters ๐ = ๐(๐ฆ
26
the True Positive Rate (TPR) and False Positive Rate (FPR) respectively for test ๐ , ๐ = 1, โฆ ๐พ.
27
The parameters in Equation 1 can be estimated under a Bayesian analysis framework using conjugate priors for
28
the parameters, for example, (K+1)-class Dirichlet distributions for the pathogen proportions and Beta
29
distributions for the TPRs and FPRs. With minor modifications, the basic pLCM model can be extended to
30
situations where multiple pathogen-specific tests are performed, including blood culture. Additional pathogen
31
classes could be created to account for pathogen co-infections. 3
32

33
The performance of pLCM was evaluated through simulation studies. 4,5 Knoll et al demonstrated that pLCM
34
outperforms the regular etiology fraction method based on population attributable risk (PAR). Further, they
35
showed that with a large sample of healthy controls (serving as a negative gold standard), an adequate number
36
of cases with confirmed pathogen infection (such as through blood culture isolation), and prior knowledge of the
37
TPRs associated with diagnostic tests used for a subset of pathogens, the basic pLCM will usually produce
38
reliable pathogen proportion estimates. More extensive simulation experiments by Shang et al showed that
39
even with non-informative priors, pLCM can still estimate pathogen proportions reliably, especially for the class
40
of โOthers/Noneโ, if at least a few pathogens are tested by more than one laboratory test. Our simulation
41
experiments also revealed a few situations where pLCM might perform less well, notably when pathogens only
42
had a single laboratory test performed, true pathogen proportions were very low and either FPR values were
43
high or TPR and FPR were close in value. In ANISA we developed mitigation strategies (see Section 3) to avoid
44
inclusion of such pathogens in the pLCM, and where mitigation was not possible, we excluded such pathogens
45
by combining them intothe โOther/Noneโ class.
46 47
2.
An extension of pLCM with covariate dependent pathogen proportions and false positive rates
48
The TAC tests employed in ANISA were developed by extensive testing of the target pathogens and nearest
49
neighbors to ensure high laboratory specificity. Hence a positive test result almost certainly indicated that the
50
pathogen was present in the collected specimen. Since we assume a single etiology cause for each case,
51
positives for non-etiological pathogens indicate pathogen carriage. Because pathogen carriage rates likely
52
change over many covariates such as location (study site), season (enrollment date) and age, false positive rates
53
in pLCM should vary similarly. However, the assignment of pathogen classes as the cause of a pSBI episode is
54
established by comparing the true and false positive rates. If false positive rates vary by covariates, an identical
55
set of test results may have different etiologic meaning at different covariate values. Consequently, pathogen
56
proportions cannot be determined by test results alone but should also vary by covariates. Thus we extended
57
the basic pLCM to the following model:
58 59
๐ ๐ ,โฏ,๐
= โ
(โ
๐ ๐
(1 โ ๐ )
โ
(๐ฟ )
1โ ๐ฟ
+ ๐
โ (๐ฟ )
1โ ๐ฟ
)
[2]
60 61
Here (๐ฅ , โฆ , ๐ฅ ) are the observed values of the covariates for the n cases. ฮ = (๐ , โฏ , ๐ , ๐
) and ฮ =
62
(๐ฟ , โฏ , ๐ฟ ) are the pathogen proportion distributions and false positive rates for any ๐ฅ โ ๐ณ. Notice that we
63
hold the true positive rates ฮ = (๐ , โฆ , ๐ ) constant across covariate levels because we assume that infection
64
by a pathogen implies presence of the pathogen in the respiratory or blood samples from cases.
65
Allowing false positive rates to vary by covariates is not only necessary to address known variation in pathogen
66
carriage, but also alleviates violations of the conditional independence assumption in pLCM. This is because
67
covariates are often confounders for co-carriage of some pathogens. Through adjusting the confounding effect,
68
dependence between test results for co-carried pathogens may weaken, both locally and globally.
69
A Bayesian Kernel Model approach was developed to estimate parameters in the extended model as expressed
70
by Equation 2. For each data point ๐ฅ in the domain of the covariates, we assume pathogen proportion ฮ =
71
(๐ , โฏ , ๐ , ๐
72
๐ฟ , ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐พ to have Beta priors with parameters ๐ , ๐
73
distributions of the parameters can be approximated by the same type of distributions and thus use them as the
74
sampling distributions in the next iteration of the Gibbs Sampler. The parameters of the sampling distributions
75
are updated by the following equations:
) to have a Dirchlet prior with parameters(๐ , โฏ , ๐ , ๐
76
), and the false positive rates
, ๐ = 1, โฆ , ๐พ. We also assume the posterior

Here ๐ = ๐ง , ๐ง , โฆ , ๐ง , ๐ง (

84
measures the contribution of case i at ๐ฅ to data point ๐ฅ, such that 0 โค ๐(x, ๐ฅ ) โค 1, max ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฅ ) =
85
๐(๐ฅ , ๐ฅ ) = 1, and ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฅ ) decreases as the distance between ๐ฅ and ๐ฅ increases. For discrete covariates,
86
๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฅ ) takes value 1 or 0 depending whether ๐ฅ and ๐ฅ share the same covariate values. For continuous
87
covariates

are the imputed pathogen (latent) classes for the etiology of case i from the

[5]
89 90
Here ๐พ(๐ฅ |๐ฅ , โ) is a Gaussian density function with mean at ๐ฅ and standard deviation โ. ๐ถ is a constant to make
91
sure that ๐(๐ฅ , ๐ฅ ) = 1.
92
The prior distributions of parameters are constructed by adding (K+1) pseudo cases to the study population (one
93
pseudo case per pathogen class). Each pseudo case has equal probability to be positive or negative for each of
94
the laboratory tests. Hence, the prior distribution for the true positive rates, which are invariant by covariates,
95
are the Jeffery non-informative prior for binary events, or Beta(0.5, 0.5). When covariates are considered, each
96
pseudo case will be considered as a probability density function uniformly distributed on the domain ๐ณ of the
97
covariates. Its overall contribution to a data point ๐ฅ โ ๐ณ is then:
98
๐(๐ฅ) =
|๐ณ|
โซ โ๐ณ ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ก)๐๐ก
[6]
99
Here we assume the domain of the covariates is finite and |๐ณ| is its volume (area). Hence, the prior for the
100
pathogen distribution at data point ๐ฅ will be ๐ท๐๐๐๐โ๐๐๐ก(๐(๐ฅ), ๐(๐ฅ), โฆ , ๐(๐ฅ)). The overall contribution of the
101
prior distributions to our analyses (= (K+1) / N ) is very small if the number of targeted pathogen K is much
102
smaller than the number of cases N.
103 104
The prior distribution for false positive rates is constructed from the control data, by calculating contributions of
105
all control data points to ๐ฅ โ ๐ณ, using the same function ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ). For a particular test ๐, we add the
106
contributions from controls with positive and negative results as the Beta parameters for the false positive rate.
107
The smoothing parameter โ in Equation [5] controls the amount of local smoothing. It can be decomposed into
108
two components: โ =
109
covariates. We use the โrule of thumbโ in the density estimation literature to set โ๐ . For example, if N is the
110
sample size of cases and there are two continuous covariates, then โ = ๐
111
are scaled with mean 0.0 and variance 1.0. โ is used to define the neighborhood of data points. We applied
112
knowledge of the epidemiology of the disease under evaluation to narrow the range of the parameters.

3. Implementation details of the extended pLCM model
119
Two strategies were implemented to mitigate inclusion of pathogens with characteristics that might result in
120
unreliable model performance based on simulation experiments (see Section 1). First, we prescreened
121
pathogen lists within each study site and each case outcome status (died vs. survived) using a stepwise
122
procedure that excluded pathogens with very few positive TAC tests results. The second strategy flagged
123
remaining pathogens with: a) high false positive rates among controls; b) lower odds ratio between cases and
124
controls; and c) significant and substantial pairwise correlations of tests results among controls. The effects of
125
the covariates on flagged pathogens were further examined through stratifications and/or regression models. If
126
the covariates did not reduce the flagged features at least locally, then flagged pathogens were considered for
127
exclusion from the model (no pathogens in ANISA fell in this category). If the flagged features disappeared in
128
some local regions of covariates, but remained in others, then the pathogen was kept in the model, but local
129
estimations in the troubled regions should be interpreted with caution. If a pathogen was not selected in any of
130
the strata, the pathogen effectively was captured by the โOther/Noneโ class. If a pathogen was included in
131
some strata, but not others, then the pathogen proportion was set to zero in the strata where the pathogen was
132
excluded from the target list; because this occurred only for pathogens with very few or no positive test results,
133
setting to zero was the best approximation.
134
In ANISA, non-informative priors were used for all parameters. The contribution of the priors was equivalent to
135
adding one pseudo case per pathogen class into the case population, or 28 pseudo cases to a population of
136
approximately 5,300. Thus, the contribution of priors was so small that our results can be considered as data
137
driven, rather than prior distribution driven. Additionally, in ANISA we set lower limits for TAC test true positive
138
rates: 40% for respiratory TAC and 20% for Blood TAC tests. We did not set a lower limit for blood culture true
139
positive rates.
140
The neighborhood smoothing parameter โ was chosen based on the known epidemiology of sepsis: 3 days for
141
age (with a range of 60 days) and 3 months for enrollment time (with an average range of 24 months). With this
142
choice of smoothing parameter, the average local sample size, defined as ๐๐ฅ,โ = โ๐ ๐=1 ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฅ๐ ), was
143
approximately 200 cases in a study site with 1,000 enrolled cases (the average site of the non-India ANISA sites).
144
In other words, instead of using 1,000 cases to estimate covariate independent pathogen proportions and false
145
positive rates, the extended pLCM uses an average of 200 cases to estimate parameters that vary by the
146
covariates. The local sample size of 200 appeared capable of capturing major seasonal and age trends, without
147
creating unstable local random fluctuations.
148
When updating distributions for false positive rates in Equation [4a] and [4b], only cases assigned to class (K+1),
149
or the class of โOther/Noneโ, were included in order to minimize a concern that infection by a pathogen might
150
change carriage rates of other pathogens.
151
After a 50,000 iteration burn-in period we ran the ANISA pLCM for 150,000 iterations. Posterior means and the
152
corresponding 95ยท0% credible intervals of model parameters were then generated from the iterations, either
153
globally or stratified by covariates, or even individually for cases.
154
, posterior means and the corresponding 95ยท0% credible intervals of model parameters were then
155
generated from the corresponding samples, either globally or stratified by covariates, or even
156
individually for cases. Continuous two-dimensional (for age and enrollment) heat maps, as well as one-
157
dimensional marginal or conditional curves, can also be constructed to visually reveal age and seasonal
158
patterns of etiology proportions for individual pathogens.
159 160
The proportions of pathogens that were isolated by blood culture but not on the target list of TAC
161
cards could not be estimated directly by the pLCM model. We combined them into a pathogen class
162
called โOther Blood Cultureโ. The proportion of episodes attributed to this combined class was
163
estimated indirectly by calculating the product of the number of blood culture isolates in this class and
164
the average estimated proportion attributed to pathogens with multiple tests that included blood
165
culture and that yielded at least one isolate.
166 167
Because the primary output from the model is pathogen proportion, incidence rates (per 1000 live
168
births), were calculated by the product of the total cases and the pathogen-specific proportions divided
169
by total registered live births. When data across sites were aggregated, site specific estimates were
170
weighted by each siteโs average monthly cases since sites had different catchment sizes and enrolled
171
for different periods of time
172 173
To generate the 150,000 iterations of Gibbs sampler, a total computation time of 80-90 hours was
174
required (2 seconds per iteration). The ANISA computation program was written in R and can be
175
shared upon request.

Resistant most common antibiotics including Amikacin, Ceftriaxone, and Netilmicin.
Detection of multiple bacterial isolates from a case with only respiratory symptoms and without fever does not does not correlate.
A baby with Pseudomonas infection become symptom free within 48 hrs is very unlikely. Infection with C. jejuni isolate without diarrhea is unlikely, a conclusion further reinforced by the presence of mild clinical symptoms that disappeared within 48 hours. Sepsis by C. jejuni from day one of life is very unlikely, also diarrhea was not present.
cured cured cured cured
LBW child (1900g), single clinical symptom, and no diarrhea is very unlikely to be C. jejuni infection. Severe chest indrawing without fever and diarrhea is unlikely to be a infection with C. jejuni. LBW (2350g) newborn with cephalhematoma and poor feeding on first day of life and improved from the next day is inconsistent with true Serratia infection. Sepsis by C. jejuni from day one of life is very unlikely, also diarrhea was not present. Possibly the baby had other infection. Multidrug resistant opportunistic pathogen, treated with inappropriate antibiotics and symptoms resolved within 24 hrs, is unlikely to be the causative pathogen.

Mild clinical course, improved with inappropriate antibiotic treatment. Clinical manifestations other than fever are consistent with perinatal asphyxia. Fever disappeared within 24 hours which is unlikely with Pseudomonas infection, Culture was also contaminated. The patient received an antibiotic before blood collection and recovered with same antibiotic that the isolate was resistant to. Mild clinical sign and rapid recovery despite using an inappropriate antibiotic. First blood culture was contaminated, second culture yielded Clostridium while receiving antibiotic and patient recovered with the same antibiotic. Presenting clinical signs were consistent with extreme prematurity (1000g) and low birth weight, also diarrhea was not present. Time to blood culture positivity was very long. Rapid clinical recovery with antibiotics to which the isolates were resistant. Inj. Amikacin and Cefotaxime
cured
The patient had single clinical sign and multiple bacterial isolate were identified from the blood. Detected organisms and clinical course and outcome are inconsistent. Although the isolates grow very fast in culture media, the blood culture positivity time were very long.

cured Patient recovered within 3 days with an antibiotic to which the organism was resistant.
The illness pattern is not consistent with S. aureus infection, may have been infected with another pathogen susceptible to cefotaxime. Unusual susceptibility profile including resistance to vancomycin. The antibiotic being used for treatment has minimal/no activity against gram positive organisms specifically the MRSA. Patient recovered, though the organism was resistant to the antibiotics being used for treatment.

1 See SM1 for details regarding the ANISA partial latent class model methodology 2 Of 3061 deaths, 1684 registered and 1377 unregistered, specimens were available for 349 deaths. Itโs possible that up to 100% of these deaths met the pSBI case definition. Assuming that the distribution of pathogen proportions was the same among deaths with specimens as without specimens, we estimated the overall pathogen proportion under four different scenarios (30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% of deaths meeting the pSBI case definition) 3 For adjusted proportion estimates, all deaths meeting the pSBI case definition were assumed to have specimens with laboratory results available 4 The pathogen class โOther Blood Cultureโ includes all bacteria that grew on blood culture but did not have an associated assay on the ANISA molecular diagnostic panel 5 The pathogen class โOther/Noneโ includes any pSBI episode that was not attributed by the partial latent class model (see text for details) to one of the evaluated ANISA pathogen classes

SM 14. Quality assurance plan for Taqman Array Cards (TAC) testing in Aetiology of Neonatal Infections in South Asia (ANISA) Study In order to implement a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program for molecular testing procedures at each ANISA site, the study coordination team requested shipment of 10% of all original specimens to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for repeat extraction and TaqMan Array Card (TAC) testing. Each site shipped at least a 300 ยตL (0ยท3 mL) aliquot of every 10th whole blood specimen, and 400 ยตL (0ยท4 mL) aliquot of every 10th Nasopharyngeal/Oropharyngeal (NP/OP) swab and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen to CDC approximately quarterly each year through the duration of the study. Corresponding TAC run files for QA/QC specimens were also transferred to CDC electronically for comparison of results. Among approximately 850 specimens retested at CDC, qualitative concordance of TAC results was greater than 80% among specimens with Ct values
