Predictors of mortality in severe pneumonia patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Severe pneumonia has consistently been associated with high mortality. We sought to identify risk factors for the mortality of severe pneumonia to assist in reducing mortality for medical treatment.

Methods

Electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were systematically searched till June 1, 2023.
