Pneumonia in an intensive care unit. A 30-month experience

R. M. Stevens·1974·Archives of Internal Medicine

Abstract

Cases of pneumonia during the first 21/2 years of a respiratory-surgical intensive care unit (R-SICU) were analyzed. One hundred fifty-eight episodes of pneumonia were identified in 153 patients. Patients without pneumonia had a mortality of 3.8%. Patients admitted with or acquiring Gram-positive pneumonia did not have increased mortality. Patients who had Gram-negative pneumonias without involvement by Pseudomonas aeruginosahad a mortality of 33%. Isolation ofPseudomonasfrom respiratory cultures obtained from patients with pneumonia was associated with a mortality of 70%. Overall mortality of all patients admitted during the 30-month period was 13%. Eastablished Gram-negativeBacilluspneumonias are common, dangerous, and often not effectively treated. Environmental sources of Gram-negative pathogens should be reduced. Prophylactic regimens to prevent colonization of the respiratory tract may be helpful.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
