Bacteremic Nosocomial Pneumonia: Analysis of 172 Episodes from a Single Metropolitan Area 1, 2
Abstract
We studied 172 episodes of bacteremia attributed to nosocomial pneumonia in 168 patients, observed in the 4 major hospitals of a single metropolitan area over a 5-yr period. Overall mortality for these patients was 58%. Deaths attributed directly to nosocomial pneumonia occurred almost exclusively in patients with serious and largely irreversible underlying diseases. These data confirm the high mortality associated with endemic hospital-acquired pneumonia. Although some deaths appear to be preventable, primarily by measures designed to reduce the risk of aspiration, analysis of the data herein raises doubts whether overall mortality can be significantly reduced by currently available measures.

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.
