Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Pneumonia has accounted for approximately 20% of all hospital-associated infections and 27% and 24% of all infections acquired in the medical intensive-care unit (ICU) and coronary care unit, respectively. [1]
Incidence
- The incidence of HAP is 5-15 cases per 1 000 hospital admissions. [2]
- The incidence of VAP is 6 to 20 times more than in patients without mechanical support.
Mortality
- HAP and VAP are nosocomial infections with a high mortality in contrast with other nosocomial infections.
- This higher mortality rate is associated with MDR pathogens.
