We aimed to determine the proportion of elderly patients hospitalised for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in whom a 5-day antibiotic therapy would achieve clinical stability according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) criteria.
Patients aged≥75 years, hospitalised for CAP between November 2018 and August 2019, were analysed retrospectively. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) clinical stability criteria (temperature≤37°C, heart rate≤100/min, respiratory rate≤24/min, systolic blood pressure≥90mmHg, oxygen saturation≥90% in room air) were assessed after five days of antibiotic therapy.
Seventy-five patients (mean age 88 years, 49% requiring oxygen therapy) were included. Six died, and at day 5, 36/69 (52%) fulfilled 4/5 stability criteria. The median duration of treatment was 9 days. In 28 patients (41%), it was ≤7 days.
In 52% of elderly patients with CAP, a 5-day treatment regimen resulted in clinical stability.
我们旨在确定根据美国胸科学会(ATS)标准,因社区获得性肺炎(CAP)住院的老年患者中,5 天抗生素治疗可达到临床稳定的比例。
回顾性分析了 2018 年 11 月至 2019 年 8 月因 CAP 住院的年龄≥75 岁的患者。在接受 5 天抗生素治疗后,评估美国胸科学会(ATS)的临床稳定标准(体温≤37°C、心率≤100/min、呼吸频率≤24/min、收缩压≥90mmHg、在室内空气下血氧饱和度≥90%)。
共纳入 75 例患者(平均年龄 88 岁,49%需要氧疗)。6 例患者死亡,在第 5 天,69 例中有 36 例(52%)符合 4/5 项稳定性标准。中位治疗时间为 9 天。在 28 例患者(41%)中,治疗时间≤7 天。
在 52%的 CAP 老年患者中,5 天的治疗方案可达到临床稳定。
