Abstract

Background and objective: COMMUNITY ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA (CAP) is the forth common cause of MORTALITY in elderly. Regarding higher incidence and MORTALITY of CAP in this population, the identification of risk factors of the prognosis in pneumonia can reduce MORTALITY in this patient. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study in THE ELDERLY patients, with CAP who were hospitalized in Imam Komeini, Amir Alam and shariati hospitals during 1996- 2004. Cases included 22 patients who have died during hospitalization and controls included 88 patients who survived. The clinical findings, demographic and laboratory data were identified by reviewing the medical notes and were analyzed by SPSS software.Results: According to the results, there is a definite relationship between low level of consciousness, hypotension, metabolic acidosis, anemia, history of immune deficiency with patients' MORTALITY rate.Conclusion: Regarding these results, we can identify a predictive model for determining the prognosis of CAP in elderly. We conclude that early diagnosis and treatment the patients with these risk factors are necessary to improve the prognosis.
