Poverty as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in community-acquired pneumonia: A study in a developing country population

Abstract: Numerous factors can influence the prognosis of CAP. In addition to the CURB-65 score and some other medical risk factors, socioeconomic backgrounds can also affect the early outcome in CAP. In this study, being in the lower economic class (as an indicator of poverty) is interpreted as an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis in CAP.

“…Poverty and infectious diseases interact in complex ways [ 21 ], and poverty is a well-known risk factor for community-acquired pneumonia [ 12 , 13 ]. According to previous studies, poor individuals have a higher risk of community-acquired pneumonia as they are more likely to have uncontrolled chronic diseases and less likely to have sufficient medical resources and access to care, resulting in longer hospital stays and higher mortality [ 13 , 22 , 23 ]. In this study, patients in poverty had a slightly higher risk of HAP than those not in poverty.…”

“…Poverty has a correlation with the business of microbiology. For instance, a study in a developing country found poverty as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) [ 4 ]. The study acknowledged that while numerous factors may affect the prognosis of CAP, poverty stands as an independent factor.…”
