2. 1. Aetiology in community-acquired pneumonia

   Author : Niclas Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Although community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common and well-known disease, its microbial aetiology is still not well characterized. During the past few years nucleic acid detection using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been developed for detection of many bacterial and viral pathogens causing respiratory tract infections.

4. 2. Improved diagnosis and prediction of community-acquired pneumonia

   Author : Alicia Edin; Anders F. Johansson; Anders Sjöstedt; Annika Allard; Thomas Schön; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Community-acquired pneumonia; infection; diagnosis; qPCR; metabolites; metabolomics;

   Abstract : Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although there is wide variation in the microbial etiology, CAP may manifest with similar symptoms, making institution of proper treatment challenging. READ MORE

5. 3. Prognostic assessment in community acquired pneumonia

   Author : Richard Dwyer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : β-lactam;

   Abstract : Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the most commonly occurring infectious disease that requires hospital admission. CAP affects mainly, the youngest, the oldest, the poorest and the sickest. Annual incidence is 5-12 per 1000 adults. Between 20% and 40% of patients with CAP need in-hospital treatment. READ MORE

6. 4. Implementation of evidence-based nursing care for hospital patients with community-acquired pneumonia

   Author : Signe Eekholm; Hälsofrämjande komplexa interventioner; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Community acquired pneumonia; Evidence-based guidelines; Nursing practice; Implementation strategy;

   Abstract : Insufficient nursing care is a major threat to a patient’s safety. Despite the development of evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) guiding the delivery of high-quality and effective nursing care, research presents an inadequate implementation of EBGs in clinical practice. READ MORE

7. 5. Diagnostic methods for bacterial etiology in adult community-acquired pneumonia

   Author : Kristoffer Strålin; Åke Örtqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The etiologic agent is often unidentified in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Development of new diagnostic methods has been encouraged. We aimed to develop a multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay for common bacterial pathogens and evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of this assay and of respiratory culture in CAP. READ MORE
