Epidemiology
- Pneumonia is one of the leading cause of death in the world and sixth leading cause in the United States.
- Mortality rate is low in patients treated in the outpatient department and somewhat higher in patients admitted.
- A higher mortality rate is seen in invasive diseases, nursing home patients and severe bacteremia.
- More than 40 % mortality rate is seen in ICU admitted patients.
- An increasing rate of CAP is seen with age. 5.16 to 6.11 cases of pneumonia per 1000 persons is observed in the community for adults. A pronounced seasonal effect on the number of patients presenting to emergency department was also noted. During the winter months, there was up to a 50% increase in the number of cases compared with the summer months.[1]S.pneumonia is the leading cause of pneumonia worldwide inspite of different etiologies worldwide
- Pneumonia and influenza are the eighth and seventh cause of death in the United states and Canada respectively.[2][3]A death rate of more than 60000 persons was recorded in 2005 due to pneumonia in ages more than 15 years. A difference in mortality ratio is observed in different countries like in United States/Canada 7.3 percent, Latin America 13.3 percent, Europe 9.1 percent.[4]
