Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term mortality rates associated with COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in patients who were hospitalized and later discharged.
- It utilizes a retrospective analysis of two cohorts, applying Bayesian logistic regression to control for confounding factors while assessing mortality outcomes after one year.
- Findings suggest that both types of pneumonia have comparable long-term mortality rates, with no significant difference after adjustments, indicating a low probability of distinguishing between them based on mortality risk.
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a serious infection that may occasionally rapidly evolve provoking organ dysfunctions. We aimed to characterize CAP presenting with organ dysfunctions at the emergency room, with regard to host factors and causative microorganisms, and its impact on 30-day mortality. 460 of 4070 (11.

Methods: A prospective multicentre study was performed with 4304 patients. We compared microbiological results, bacterial aetiology, smoking, alcohol abuse and comorbidities in three age groups: young adults (<45 years), adults (45-64 years) and seniors (>65 years).
Background: Severe sepsis, may be present on hospital arrival in approximately one-third of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Objective: To determine the host characteristics and micro-organisms associated with severe sepsis in patients hospitalized with CAP.
Results: We performed a prospective multicenter cohort study in 13 Spanish hospital, on 4070 hospitalized CAP patients, 1529 of whom (37.
Rationale: Detection of the C-polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae in urine by an immune-chromatographic test is increasingly used to evaluate patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
Objectives: We assessed the sensitivity and specificity of this test in the largest series of cases to date and used logistic regression models to determine predictors of positivity in patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia.
Methods: We performed a multicenter, prospective, observational study of 4,374 patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia.
