From: Multidrug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Study/year | Population/Country | Prevalence of P. aeruginosa | Risk factors for P. aeruginosa CAP |
|---|---|---|---|
Aliberti et al. 2013 [2] | Prospective study of two cohorts (Barcelona and Edinburgh) n = 1591 CAP patients | Barcelona: 6.5% (32 cases) of these 12 cases (38%) were MDR P. aeruginosa Edinburgh: 1.6% (9 cases) of these 3 cases (30%) were MDR P. aeruginosa | Nursing home; hospitalization in the previous 90 days; history of chronic lung disease |
Shindo et al. 2013 [51] | Prospective study of CAP and HCAP cases from Japan n = 1431 | CAP 3.7% (33 cases) HCAP 8.7% (46 cases) | |
Prina et al. 2015 [50] | Prospective study of CAP from Spain n = 1597 | 4.5% P. aeruginosa | Previous antibiotic use, chronic respiratory diseases, PO2/FiO2 ratio < 200 |
