Three risk factors for mortality in the elderly with pneumonia identified

In a study involving 1607 patients > 65 years of age with community- or healthcare-acquired pneumonia, pre-morbid ambulation impairment (OR=2.61), hospitalization within 30 days of acquiring pneumonia (OR=1.93), and absence of cough and purulent sputum (OR=1.47) were shown to be associated with a significant increase in 30-day mortality.
