Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: in the winter. Bone-marrow transplant, hematological malignancies, neutropenia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increased pneumonia risk. CAP, hematological malignancies and neutropenia increased the risk of death by day 90. Pneumonia, both CAP and HAP, increased mortality and hospital and ICU length of stay in adults with cancer. Gram-negative bacilli were common in both CAP and HAP. Tailored infection control programmes and an emphasis on adult vaccination are imperative to pneumonia prevention.
