Inflammatory responses predict long-term mortality risk in community-acquired pneumonia.
Long-term outcomes in patients surviving community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are still incompletely understood. This study investigates the association of clinical parameters and blood markers with long-term mortality. We prospectively followed 877 CAP patients from a previous multicentre trial for 18 months follow-up and investigated all-cause mortality following hospital discharge. Overall mor...

متن کاملRisk Factors for Long-Term Mortality after Hospitalization for Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A 5-Year Prospective Follow-Up Study
BACKGROUND Contributors to long-term mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remain unclear, with little attention paid to pneumonia etiology. We examined long-term survival, causes of death, and risk factors for long-term mortality in adult patients who had been hospitalized for CAP, with emphasis on demographic, clinical, laboratory, and microbiological characteristics. ...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and Red Cell Distribution Width for Prediction of Mortality in Preschool Children with Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
Background Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major infectious cause of mortality in preschool children especially in developing countries. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) has been associated with poor outcomes of CAP. We aimed to determine whether admission stress hyperglycemia and RDW can predict mortality in preschool children with CAP for early identification of patients at risk of ...
متن کاملIncreased long-term mortality in healthcare-acquired pneumonia: another short-term lease on life?
In this issue of Respiration Cecere et al. [8] , by prospectively enrolling patients and utilizing social security data to vigorously review death records, were able to confirm the long-term survival status of 457 patients categorized as having either HCAP (164 patients) or CAP (293 patients). Despite its limitations (a single-institution not a controlled study, retrospective identification of ...
