Twenty-year trend in mortality among hospitalized patients with pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia by Catia Cillóniz (661121)

“…The overall 30-day mortality rate was 8% (95% confidence interval, 6%–9%; 84 of 1,120 patients) and did not change significantly between periods (p = 0.33). Although, we observed a decrease in ICU-mortality comparing the first period (26%) to the second one (10%), statistical differences disappeared with adjustment (p0.38).…”
