Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of a disease-specific and a generic severity of illness measure for patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
Michael J. Fine,Barbara H. Hanusa,Judith R. Lave,Daniel E. Singer,Roslyn A. Stone,Lisa A. Weissfeld,Christopher M. Coley,Thomas J. Marrie,Wishwa N. Kapoor +8 more
TL;DR: The PSI provided more accurate estimates of hospital mortality and classified different hospital outliers for mortality than did the generic severity of illness measure for patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrolide-based regimens and mortality in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Leyla Asadi,Wendy I. Sligl,Dean T. Eurich,Isabelle N. Colmers,Lisa Tjosvold,Thomas J. Marrie,Sumit R. Majumdar +6 more
TL;DR: In hospitalized patients with CAP, macrolide-based regimens were associated with a significant 22% reduction in mortality compared with nonmacrolides; however, this benefit did not extend to patients studied in RCTs or patients that received guideline-concordant antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Summary of Canadian Guidelines for the Initial Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia: An Evidence-Based Update by the Canadian Infectious Diseases Society and the Canadian Thoracic Society
TL;DR: The current guidelines represent a joint effort by the Canadian Infectious Diseases Society and the Canadian Thoracic Society, and they address the etiology, diagnosis and initial management of community-acquired pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can Routine Laboratory Tests Discriminate between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and Other Causes of Community-Acquired Pneumonia?
Matthew P. Muller,George Tomlinson,Thomas J. Marrie,Patrick Tang,Allison McGeer,Allison McGeer,Donald E. Low,Donald E. Low,Allan S. Detsky,Wayne L. Gold +9 more
TL;DR: Routine laboratory tests, including determination of absolute lymphocyte count, should not be used in the diagnosis of SARS or incorporated into current case definitions of SATS, but the role of the absolute neutrophil count is likely limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonizing a urinary catheter in vitro.
TL;DR: It is suggested that growth within thick adherent biofilms confers upon cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa a large measure of resistance to aminoglycosides and other antibiotics that may help to explain the frequent failure of antibiotic chemotherapy in catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
