Despite a lower proportion of pathogens in NV-ICUAP compared with VAP, the type of isolates and outcomes are similar regardless of whether pneumonia is acquired or not during ventilation, indicating they may depend on patients' underlying severity rather than previous intubation. With the diagnostic techniques currently recommended by guidelines, both types of patients might receive similar empiric antibiotic treatment.
