Physical Inactivity and Sedentarism during and after Admission with Community-Acquired Pneumonia and the Risk of Readmission and Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bed rest with limited physical activity is common during admission. The aim was to determine the association between daily step count and physical activity levels during and after admission with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and the risk of readmission and mortality.

Methods

A prospective cohort study of 166 patients admitted with CAP. Step count and physical activity were assessed with accelerometers during and after admission and were categorised as sedentary, light, or moderate-vigorous physical activity. Linear regression was used to assess the association between step count and length of stay. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between step count, physical activity level, and risk of readmission and mortality.
