1 Pneumonia, a family Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) Pneumonia in ER Health-care associated pneumonia (HCAP) Postgraduate course Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) Pascal Van Bleyenbergh Department of Pneumology, UZ KULeuven Even in developed countries CAP mortality is not negligible Mortality for hospitalised patients with CAP has remained constant over time Mortality: - outpatients 1%- 5% - inpatients - CAP III 6%-14% - CAP IV 36%-60% Mixed patient populations in different settings and countries year <1% - >65 year 12,5% *CAP=Community acquired pneumonia # average of 30-day and 90-day mortality in ICU vs ward patients, with average of 2 rates ~ 12% Feikin DR et al. Am J Public Health 2000; 90: National Center for Health Statistics 2000 ( Austrian R et al. Ann Intern Med 1964; 60: 759 Fine MJ et al. JAMA 1996; 274: 134 Feikin DR et al.

2 CAP: assessment CAP: assessment History and clinical examination (vital signs!) Routine laboratorium (PBC, electrolytes, liver and kidney function) severity Oxygenation assessment (oximetry/abg) Chest X-ray - definate diagnosis of pneumonia (caveats!) - severity - underlying conditions or complicatins - no correlation with causal pathogen!! Sputum stain & culture = controversial (colonisation / contamination!!) Blood cultures All hospitalised patients with CAP (11% positive) (S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae) Serological testing (Influenza, Para-influenza, Adeno, RSV, Mycoplasma, Chlamydophila, ) - patients with severe pneumonia - no response to empirical therapy - specific epidemiologic circumstances Legionella antigen detection in urine all patients with severe pneumonia alle patients with pneumonia in epidemics To admit or not? Ward or ICU? Pneumonia IN- or OUT- hospital care? Severe CAP: severity scoring systems Pneumonia severity index (PSI) CURB-65 Severity scores Common Sense Score systems to stratify patients wit CAP into mortality risk groups management IN/OUT hospital 2

CURB-65 To predict mortality in individual hospitalized patients Mortality probability < 0.5% Score systems to stratify patients wit CAP into mortality risk groups management IN/OUT hospital Fine MJ, Auble TE, Yealy DM, et al.

Lim WS et al.thorax 2009; 64(3); 1-55 To admit or not: common sense CAP: treatment Pleural fluid Bilateral pneumonia Need for supplemental oxygen Oral therapy possible? Compliance Socio-economic situation Recurrent pneumonia Co-morbidity (immune status,...) Diagnostic uncertainty Pneumonia always antibiotics ASAP Which? criteria - antibiotic spectrum Target the most likely pathogens 4

5 CAP: causal pathogens CAP: causal pathogens by country Welte T et al. Thorax 2012; 67: 71 Welte T et al. Thorax 2012; 67: CAP: causal pathogens by treatment setting CAP: etiology Streptococcus pneumoniae = most frequent pathogen = highest morbidity and mortality Should always be covered when starting emperical therapy! Welte T et al. Thorax 2012; 67:

Recent hospitalisation 2. Frequent use of antibiotics/steroids (>4 in previous year) or recent use of antibiotics/steroids (previous 3 months) 3. Very severe COPD (i.e. GOLD IV) 4. Isolation van P. aeruginosa during a previous AECOPD of known kolonisation during stable periods 5. Presence of bronchiectasis Antibiotic therapy in previous 90 days High frequency of resistance in community Immunosuppression by disease or medication Risk factors for HCAP Hospitalisation for 2 days in previous 90 days Nursing home residence Home intravenous therapy Chronic dialysis within 30 days Chronic wound care Close contacts to MDR pathogens Eller et al.

7 CAP: treatment Antibiotics: which route to choose? Pneumonia always antibiotics ASAP Which? criteria - antibiotic spectrum - route of administration - bio-equivalence Parenteral administration is widely and often unnecessarily used only 30-50% of patients admitted to hospital will initially require treatment with parenteral antibiotics Parenteral therapy High severity pneumonia Impaired consciousness Loss of swallowing reflex Functional or anatomical reasons for malabsorption Chan R et al.
