The Relative Ability of Comorbidity Ascertainment Methodologies to Predict In-Hospital Mortality Among Hospitalized Community-acquired Pneumonia Patients
BACKGROUND: Despite widespread use of comorbidities for population health descriptions and risk adjustment, the ideal method for ascertaining comorbidities is not known. We sought to compare the relative value of several methodologies by which comorbidities may be ascertained. METHODS: This is an observational study of 1596 patients admitted to the University of Chicago for community-acquired pneumonia from 1998 to 2012. We collected data via cha…

Trends in Mortality and Medical Spending in Patients Hospitalized for Community-Acquired Pneumonia
BACKGROUND: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the most common infectious cause of death in the United States. To understand the effect of efforts to improve quality and efficiency of care in CAP, we examined the trends in mortality and costs among hospitalized CAP patients. METHODS: Using the National Inpatient Sample between 1993 and 2005, we studied 569,524 CAP admissions. The primary outcome was mortality at discharge. We used logistic reg…
