Resource Utilization of Adults Admitted to a Large Urban Hospital With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae: Data Collection
Patients were excluded if their total hospitalization was < 2 days, if they had impaired immune function (ie, AIDS, HIV, leukocyte count < 1,000/^L), known or suspected tuberculosis, known or suspected Pneumocystis ji-roveci, or concomitant pneumonia or other infection at baseline caused by viruses, fungi, or other bacteria except intracellular pathogens (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, […]
Resource Utilization of Adults Admitted to a Large Urban Hospital With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae: Study Design
All can result in increased hospital length of stay, thereby significantly escalating costs. However, few cost-of-illness studies have attempted to evaluate the economic impact of penicillin susceptibility in patients with CAP caused by S pneumoniae. The primary objective of this study was to determine resource utilization and costs associated with the in-hospital treatment of CAP […]
