Article Synopsis
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a lung infection common in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation, and this study aimed to assess its risk among diabetic vs. nondiabetic trauma patients.
- The study monitored 186 ICU patients for VAP over a year, revealing that 41 patients developed the infection, with a median onset of about 29 days after hospitalization.
- Results indicated that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) had a significantly higher risk of developing VAP, with a hazard ratio of 10.12 compared to nondiabetic patients.
