Ventilator-associated pneumonia is linked to a worse prognosis than community-acquired pneumonia in children
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Comparison between ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children. Patients with VAP had worse prognosis than patients with CAP, needing longer mechanical ventilation, more inotropic support and had higher mortality. Patients with VAP were mainly infected by Enterobacteriaceae and had more multidrug resistant microorganisms than patients with CAP.
