2203. Patient-Specific Risk Stratification to Identify Patients at High and Low Risk for P. aeruginosa in Community-Acquired Pneumonia

摘要

Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) is an infrequent pathogen associated with poor outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Identifying patients at high and low-risk for PsA in CAP is necessary to reduce inappropriate and overly broad-spectrum antibiotic use. We evaluated the distribution of risk-factors in hospitalized CAP patients with and without PsA infection.
