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.
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) has become standard care for the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other severe hypoxemic lung diseases. The use of new portable O concentrators (POC) in LTOT is being expanded. However, the issue of oxygen titration is not always properly addressed, since POCs rely on proper use by patients.
