Causes and Factors Associated With Early Failure in Hospitalized Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Beatriz Rosón,Jordi Carratalà,Núria Fernández-Sabé,Fe Tubau,Frederic Manresa,Francesc Gudiol +5 more
TL;DR: Observational analysis of a prospective series of nonimmunosuppressed hospitalized adults with community-acquired pneumonia found discordant therapy is a less frequent cause of failure, which may be preventable by rational application of the current antibiotic guidelines.
