No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pneumonia is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. A large body of evidence concerning the mortality risk factors in elderly patients with pneumonia has been reported; however, less is known about causes of mortality in patients of sixty and less. We noted a relatively substantial rate of short term mortality in this group of patients that were admitted to our institution. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the mortality rate and to identify risk factors for mortality among patients of sixty years old and less that were admitted with community acquired pneumonia.
