Title: Microbiological testing of adults hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia: an international study Document date: 2018_10_8
ID: 1j15mfio_16
Snippet: This international, multicentre, point-prevalence study provides a high-quality, real-life picture of diagnostic testing in patients hospitalised with CAP. At least one microbiological test was performed in the vast majority of patients hospitalised with CAP and led to an aetiological diagnosis in one-third of patients tested. Geographic area and disease severity influenced testing frequency. Our study also highlights a significant discordance of.....
Document: This international, multicentre, point-prevalence study provides a high-quality, real-life picture of diagnostic testing in patients hospitalised with CAP. At least one microbiological test was performed in the vast majority of patients hospitalised with CAP and led to an aetiological diagnosis in one-third of patients tested. Geographic area and disease severity influenced testing frequency. Our study also highlights a significant discordance of real-life diagnostic testing compared to recommended testing in the 2007 IDSA/ ATS and 2011 ERS guidelines for CAP management in adults. Several crucial points could be raised by our findings.
