Abstract
PURPOSE: The evolution of healthcare-associated infection as a concept attests to the need for clinicians to recognize the proliferation healthcare delivery, as many of the traditionally hospital-based interventions now transpire in the ambulatory arena. Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is a separate entity in the spectrum of pneumonia. Because of its emerging importance and widely differing pathogen make-up and outcomes in some recent studies, we examined in detail the 5 cohort studies published to date in HCAP to identify the potential reasons for these disparate findings and to identify current knowledge gaps.
