The aim of this study was to compare the demographic and laboratory data, isolated causative agents and prognosis of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and HCAP in a large population in Turkey.Materials and methods: The data of 785 cases (average age 65.3 ± 16.4, 530 male) registered to Turkish Thoracic Society Respiratory Infections Study Group CAP database (TURCAP) were examined. The demographic data, clinical history, pneumonia severity scores (PSI), laboratory and radiologic findings of the CAP and HCAP patients were compared.Result: Out of 785 cases, 207 (26.4%) were diagnosed with HCAP and 578 (73.6%) with CAP. Among HCAP cases, 140/207 (67.6%) had preceding hospitalization in the last 90 days, 28/207 (13.5%) were on a hemodialysis program during the previous 30 days and 22/207 (10.6%) were staying in nursing homes. Patients with HCAP more frequently had comorbidities (93.2% vs. 81.6%; p= 0.001) and higher PSI scores (103.9 ± 37.2 vs. 94.6 ± 35.4; p= 0.002) compared to patients with CAP. A causative microorganism was isolated in only 12.1% (70/578) of CAP and 14.5% (30/207) of HCAP patients. The length of stay in hospital was higher in HCAP than CAP (8.6 ± 5.5 vs. 7.5 ± 6.1 days, p= 0.03); however the rates of treatment failure, intensive care unit admission and mortality were similar.Conclusions: In comparison to CAP, HCAP patients tend to have more severe disease, despite have no difference in mortality. The current criteria for HCAP do not predict worse clinical outcomes. Further work is required to define local risk factors for multidrug-resistant pathogens.","PeriodicalId":45521,"journal":{"name":"Tuberkuloz ve Toraks-Tuberculosis and Thorax","volume":"64 3","pages":"185-190"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41215545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
