Akiyama Y, Ishiguro T, Uozumi R, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for determining predictors of long-term outcomes with special attention to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) etiology. One thousand nine hundred thirty patients who were hospitalized with CAP from January 2002 through November 2017 at Saitama Cardiovascular and Respiratory Center and were discharged alive were studied. Data reported that the median follow-up period was 442.5 (range 1–5514) days. Three hundred twenty-one patients died during this period. Predictors of long-term prognosis after hospital discharge for CAP were not only age, general condition, and comorbidities, but also specific pathogens.
