Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Pneumonia has accounted for approximately 20% of all hospital-associated infections and 27% and 24% of all infections acquired in the medical intensive-care unit (ICU) and coronary care unit, respectively. [1]

Incidence

  • The incidence of HAP is 5-15 cases per 1 000 hospital admissions. [2]
  • The incidence of VAP is 6 to 20 times more than in patients without mechanical support.

Mortality

  • HAP and VAP are nosocomial infections with a high mortality in contrast with other nosocomial infections.
  • This higher mortality rate is associated with MDR pathogens.
Age Females Males
18-44 years 5% 4%
45-64 years 14% 13%
≥ 65 years 34% 30%
Total 53% 47%
Table adapted from 2009–2011 National Medicare Patient Safety Monitoring System [3]

Age

  • HAP is more commonly reported in patients > 65 years, probably due to the fact that this age population is more commonly hospitalized.

Gender

  • There is no predominance in gender, although some data reports a higher incidence among females.
