Therefore, we evaluated risk factors for 30-day post-discharge mortality after CAP. We included all patients of the prospective multi-national CAPNETZ study between 2002 and 2018 with (1) hospitalized CAP, (2) survival until discharge, and (3) complete follow-up data. The study endpoint was death within 30 days after discharge. We evaluated risk factors including demographics, comorbidities, admission CAP severity, and laboratory values and treatment-related factors in uni- and multivariable analyses. A total of 126 (1.6%) of 7882 included patients died until day 30 after discharge, corresponding to 26% of all 476 deaths. After multivariable analysis, we identified 10 independent risk factors: higher aEuropean journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology621-630https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8934328biostudies-literatureEarly post-discharge mortality in CAP: frequency, risk factors and a prediction tool.PMC8934328Krieger DRohde GPrediger MNaim JWouters MHoffmann CKnuppel WMikolajewska AZaruchas AMoeser ABauer THufner AHering IWelte TRupp JCornelissen CDegen OWalraven KStolz DPletz MWSuttorp NKroegel CKlopp NCAPNETZ Study GroupCreutz PFranzen KNawrocki MWaldeck FSpinner CAlbrich WPanning MIllig TLangner SKolditz MSchmager Sle Claire AWitzenrath MBahrs CSchulte-Hubbert BFuge IGlockner VFreise JBaldesberger SWallner MDromann DSchaberg TBuschmann HKroner WBarten-Neiner GRassouli FParschke PDreher MSchleenvoigt BKading NBenzke MBraeken DPletz MfalseEarly post-discharge mortality in CAP: frequency, risk factors and a prediction tool.There are few data on mortality after discharge with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
