Geriatri Kliniğinde Pnömoni Nedeniyle Takip Edilen Hastalarda Pnömokok Aşısının ve Diğer Faktörlerin Prognoza Etkisi

Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study is to analyze the patients followed with the diagnosis of pneumonia in our geriatric clinic and discuss the effect of vaccination on prognosis by questioning the status of the vaccination before infection. Materials and Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with pneumonia in the geriatric clinic between January 2017 and December 2017 were included in the study. Demographic data, symptoms, physical examination findings, laboratory tests and radiological examinations of the patients were recorded. Pneumococcal vaccination status before the development of pneumonia was evaluated. We classified the patients in terms of prognosis as ‘good’ and ‘poor’. Indicators of poor prognosis were determined by the presence of septic shock findings accompanying the infection, need for intensive care or death within 30 days of onset of infection. Results: During the one-year period, a total of 47 (25%) patients with community or hospital acquired pneumonia in 186 hospitalized patients were recorded. The rates of chest x-ray findings and auscultation suggesting pneumonia were 87% and 83 %, respectively. The presence of dyspnea (p=0.008) and mental disorder (p<0.001) were significantly predictive for poor prognosis. CURB-65 (Confusion, uremia, blood pressure, age 65) (p=0.030) and PSI (Pneumonia severity index) (p=0.013) scores were significantly higher in patients with poor prognosis. Vaccinated patients had a statistically significantly better prognosis than the non-vaccinated (p= 0.003). All the patients who died (n= 7) did not have the vaccine. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the necessity of vaccination and its positive effect on prognosis in the geriatric population.
