Notes

  • In the study presented here, data collected prospectively from 340 adult patients hospitalised in five countries with bacteremic pneumococcal CAP and treated with a beta-lactam +/- a macrolide were analysed retrospectively to evaluate the efficacy of this antimicrobial combination. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed no significant effect on case fatality rate when a macrolide/beta-lactam regimen was used as initial therapy. Results were not affected by severity of illness, or by excluding patients who died within 2 days of admission. Identified predictors of death in a multivariate regression model were age greater than 65 years (OR=2.6), two or more lung lobes affected (OR=2.2), and severity of disease as estimated using the acute physiology score (APS)greater than 8.
