Background It remains uncertain why immunocompetent patients with bacterial community-
acquired pneumonia (CAP) die, in spite of adequate antibiotics. Methods This is a …

Background. The purpose of our study was to analyze prognostic factors associated with
mortality for patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods. We …

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a major cause of mortality. The aetiology of
CAP has rarely been identified as a mortality risk factor. A prospective study was conducted …

Introduction We aimed to compare intensive care unit mortality due to non-pneumococcal
severe community-acquired pneumonia between the periods 2000–2002 and 2008–2014 …

Objective To determine predictors of intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in patients with
community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), to develop a pneumonia-specific prognostic index …

Background The present study was performed to assess the prognosis of patients admitted
to the intensive care unit (ICU) for community acquired pneumonia (CAP) after …

Background The distribution of the microbial aetiology and mortality of community-acquired
pneumonia (CAP) was investigated in relation to the clinical setting and severity scores …

Objective To assess the effect on survival of macrolides or fluoroquinolones in intubated
patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe community-acquired …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the variables associated with mortality of patients with community-
acquired pneumonia who require mechanical ventilation and to determine the attributable …

Objective: To assess whether combination antibiotic therapy improves outcome of severe
community-acquired pneumonia in the subset of patients with shock. Design: Secondary …
