Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia and Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia: Bacterial Aetiology, Antibiotic Resistance and Treatment Outcomes: A Study From North India

Abstract: The patient characteristics in HCAP, treatment outcomes, bacterial aetiology, and a higher incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, suggest that HCAP although not as severe as HAP, can be grouped as a separate third entity.

“…We found that patients’ background characteristics such as age; male sex; being underweight; residence in a nursing home or extended care facility; being bedridden; prior admission; immunosuppression; and comorbidities of heart failure, liver failure, and COPD, as well as severity of conditions at admission, including dehydration, respiratory failure, conscious disturbance, and hypotension were significantly associated with 30-day hospital mortality. These factors have been consistently reported in older studies in the late 1990s and in more recent studies [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] ]. Bedsores were further identified as an independent risk factor for mortality.…”

“…Despite improvements in prevention, antimicrobial therapy, and supportive care [30], HAP remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. HAP has been associated with significant mortality [31,32]. In our study, IHM was similar in COPD patients and in non-COPD patients, with no significant change overtime.…”

“…HAP can have negative consequences for patients, including prolonged hospital stay, decreased quality of life and high mortality [6,7]. Despite improvements in prevention, antimicrobial therapy, and supportive care [1], HAP remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality [8]. The mortality rate for HAP ranges from 38% to more than 70% [9].…”
