| Risk factors of treatment failure in community acquired pneumonia: implications for disease outcome | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Background: An inadequate response to initial empirical treatment of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) represents a challenge for clinicians and requires early identification and intervention. A study was undertaken to quantify the incidence of failure of empirical treatment in CAP, to identify risk factors for treatment failure, and to determine the implications of treatment failure on the outcome. | |||||||||||||
