Abstract
Aims & Objectives: To analyze predictive factors for mortality in pneumonia patients who required mechanical ventilator. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed of all pneumonia patients. Patient between 1 month-18 years old diagnosed as pneumonia who required mechanical ventilator admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Sardjito hospital in 2014–2016 were included in this study. We use Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression test. Results One hundred eleven patients were included in this study. Those patients diagnosed as community acquired pneumonia (CAP) 79,3%, hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) 14,4% and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) 6,3%. The mortality rate was 47,7% for all cases. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that bacteremia, underweight-severely underweight nutritional status are predictive factors for mortality in pneumonia patients who required mechanical ventilator with aOR 2.5(CI95% 1.03–6.1) and 2.4(CI 95% 1.1–5.7) respectively. Conclusions Bacteremia and underweight-severely underweight nutritional status are predictive factors for mortality in pneumonia patients who required mechanical ventilator.
