Article Synopsis
- Pneumonia is the top infection-related cause of death, and identifying high-risk patients using clinical criteria can improve prevention and treatment strategies in hospitals.
- A study focused on patients in ICUs across 28 US hospitals found that 32% of high-risk patients were treated for potential nosocomial pneumonia, with 37% diagnosed with it.
- Factors like trauma diagnosis, aspiration risk, enteral nutrition, and recent antibacterial treatment increased the odds of developing nosocomial pneumonia in these patients.
