Certain patients are at increased risk of negative outcomes1-3
- Common comorbidities, such as diabetes and COPD, are significant predictors for hospitalization1-3
|
|
|
There are serious safety concerns with common classes of antibiotics4-6
- Fluoroquinolones have boxed warnings for adverse side
effects including tendon rupture, mental health issues, aortic dissections, and hypoglycemia that can lead to coma4-6
|
|
|
Hospitalization may also have negative consequences7
- Hospitalization can increase the risk of complications in patients with CABP/pneumonia, including risk of thromboembolic events and "superinfection" by resistant hospital bacteria7
|
|
|
Antibiotic resistance continues to increase8
- S. pneumoniae causes ~36% of all CABP in adults—but in the last 20 years, it's become increasingly resistant to older classes of antibiotics, such as macrolides, tetracyclines, and penicillins9,10
