摘要

Purpose: Patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) at low risk of death by CURB-65 scoring system are usually unnecessarily treated as inpatients generating additional economic and clinical burden. We aimed to implement an evidence-based clinical pathway to reduce hospital admissions of low-risk CAP and investigate factors related to mortality and readmissions within 30 days. Patients and Methods: From November 2015 to August 2017, a clinical pathway was implemented at 20 hospitals. We included patients aged 18 years, with a diagnosis of CAP by the attendant physician. The main outcome was the monthly proportion of low-risk CURB-65 admission after the implementation of the clinical pathway. Logistic regression models were performed to assess variables associated with mortality and readmission in the admitted population within 30 days. Results: We included 10,909 participants with suspected CAP. The proportion of low-risk CAP admitted decreased from 22.1% to 12.8% in the period. Among participants with low risk, there has been no perceptible increase in deaths (0.80%) or readmissions (6.92%). Regression analysis identified that CURB-65 variables, presence of pleural effusion (OR= 1.74; 95%CI=1.08– 2.8; p=0.02) and leucopenia (OR= 2.47; 95%CI=1.11– 5.48; p=0.02) were independently associated with 30-day mortality, whereas a prolonged hospital stay (OR= 2.09; 95%CI=1.14– 3.83; p=0.01) was associated with 30-day readmission in the low-risk population. Conclusion: The implementations of a clinical pathway diminished the proportion of low-risk CAP admissions with no apparent increase in clinical outcomes within 30 days. Nonetheless, additional factors influence the clinical decision about the site of care management in low-risk CAP.
