Factors Associated with Mortality in Nosocomial Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: An ENIRRI Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections (nLRTIs) are associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes and significant healthcare costs. nLRTIs include hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and other ICU-acquired pneumonia phenotypes. While risk factors for mortality in these infections are critical to guide preventive strategies, it remains unclear whether they vary based on their requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) at any point during the hospitalization. Objectives: This study aims to identify risk factors associated with short- and long-term mortality in patients with nLRTIs, considering differences between those requiring IMV and those who do not. Methods: This multinational prospective cohort stud
