Abstract

Objective: The number of admissions to the emergency department (ED) of elderly patients who reside in nursing homes with a diagnosis of pneumonia continues to grow. This study was designed to assess factors that predicted mortality in the patient group defined as those with nursing home-acquired pneumonia (NHAP). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, observational study conducted in a hospital ED. The data of nursing home patients admitted to the ED with a pneumonia presentation (NHAP) were compared with those of patients with communityacquired pneumonia (CAP). Factors that predicted mortality in the NHAP group were analyzed. SPSS for Windows, Version 16.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used to perform the statistical analysis. Results: A total of 98 patients >18 years of age, 36 of whom were NHAP patients, were included in the research. The risk level and rates of intensive care admission and mortality were significantly higher in the NHAP group (p
