Individualizing Risk of Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens in Community-Onset Pneumonia
INTRODUCTION The diffusion of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria has created the need to identify risk factors for acquiring resistant pathogens in patients living in the community. OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical features of patients with community-onset pneumonia due to MDR pathogens, to evaluate performance of existing scoring tools and to develop a bedside risk score for an early identifica...
متن کاملStratifying risk factors for multidrug-resistant pathogens in hospitalized patients coming from the community with pneumonia.
BACKGROUND Not all risk factors for acquiring multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms are equivalent in predicting pneumonia caused by resistant pathogens in the community. We evaluated risk factors for acquiring MDR bacteria in patients coming from the community who were hospitalized with pneumonia. Our evaluation was based on actual infection with a resistant pathogen and clinical outcome during...
متن کاملRole of multidrug-resistant pathogens in health-care-associated pneumonia.
We read with interest Santiago Ewig and colleagues’ article discussing the validity of a new classifi cation scheme for pneumonia, including for health-care-associated pneumonia (HCAP). The investigators reviewed the available evidence, including our 2009 study. They conclude that this study does not prove much more than that patients admitted to hospital within 180 days have a similar mortalit...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant pathogens in hospitalised patients coming from the community with pneumonia: a European perspective.
BACKGROUND Probabilistic scores have been recently suggested to identify pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. The aim of the study was to validate both Aliberti and Shorr scores in predicting MDR pneumonia, comparing them with healthcare associated pneumonia (HCAP) classification. METHODS Two independent European cohorts of consecutive patients hospitalised with pneumonia w...
متن کاملProposed risk factors for infection with multidrug-resistant pathogens in hemodialysis patients hospitalized with pneumonia
BACKGROUND In patients with hemodialysis-associated pneumonia (HDAP), information on both microbiologic features and antimicrobial strategies is limited. The aim of this study is to investigate predictive factors of infection with multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in HDAP patients. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective, and observational study. Enrolled patients were classified into...
