Severity scores for predicting mortality, risk factors for drug-resistant pathogens, and the sputum Gram stain test in nursing and health care-associated pneumonia: an observational study
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- ursing and healthcare-associated pneumonia
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000013648
- Lead Sponsor
- Department of Emergency and General Internal Medicine, Fujita Health University School of Medicine
- Brief Summary
Since this study was a prospective observational study that required patient consent form, the proportion of patients who disagreed was overwhelmingly large. Due to very few numbers of consented cases, which degraded the external validity of the study, the study was terminated.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Model performance (discrimination and calibration) of A-DROP, a proposed pneumonia severity score for predicting 30-day mortality
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1) Model performance (discrimination and calibration) of other proposed pneumonia severity scores (PSI, C(U)RB-65) for predicting 30-day mortality 2) Predictive ability of proposed risk factors or model performance of proposed indexes for predicting drug-resistant pathogens 3) Percent of change in the selection of first-line antibiotic regimens (from empirical regimens to the Gram stain test-based focussed/narrower regimens) 4) The impact of the Gram stain test upon primary treatment failure, 30-day mortality, and 100-day mortality
