Overview
Brief Summary
This multicentric, prospective study aims at:
evaluating the prevalence, etiology, characteristics, and 1one-year outcomes of immunocompromised patients hospitalized for Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP); conducting biochemical, microbiological and genetic analysis on collected samples.
Detailed Description
Primary endpoint: Collection of in- hospitalisation mortality for all causes in immunocompromised patients with CAP enrolled. Secondary endpoints: Collection of data on admission and during hospitalisation to evaluate clinical response to empirical treatments (including antibiotic therapy) related to severity of disease and microbiological etiology. Prevalence of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality during hospitalization or after discharge. Biochemical, microbiological and genetic analysis on collected samples.
