July 2023
Objective: The first decision to be made in the case of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is whether hospitalization of the patient is mandatory. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the addition of oxygenation parameters to CURB-65 has diagnostic value in predicting mortality in CAP.
Patients And Methods: A total of 903 CAP patients were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored how inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) affect the outcomes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and their association with mortality risk.
- 172 ICS users had COPD and fewer reported symptoms like fever, muscle pain, and gastrointestinal issues compared to non-users.
- The results indicated ICS use did not significantly impact hospitalization duration or mortality in CAP patients, but might reduce fever and other respiratory signs, warranting further investigation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the best antibiotic treatment for patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) hospitalized outside of the ICU.
- The research involved 621 patients across nine hospitals in Turkey, identifying common pathogens like S. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa but showing low rates of pathogen identification overall.
- Results indicated no significant differences in clinical outcomes, such as cure rates or length of hospital stays, among the three antibiotic treatment regimens tested.
Introduction: The long-term prognosis of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has attracted increasing interest in recent years. The objective of the present study is to investigate the short and long-term outcomes in hospitalized patients with CAP and to identify the predictive factors associated with mortality.
Patients And Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective, multicenter, observational study.
Introduction: Adverse drug reactions is an important healthcare issue, it causes excess morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the adverse drug reactions in patients who admitted to the outpatient clinic of respiratory diseases and to improve some clinical strategies if they are preventable.
Patients And Methods: This study is a prospective observational study which was performed to determine adverse drug reaction in patients who admitted to the outpatient clinic of respiratory diseases.
