Diagnosis and features of hospital-acquired pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study	2015-12-15		.txt	text/plain	3885	202	36	The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of the diagnosis of HAP in inpatients on acute internal medicine and general surgical wards receiving intravenous antimicrobials for a clinical diagnosis of HAP made by the patient's team. This was a retrospective observational cohort study of medical and surgical inpatients receiving intravenous antimicrobials for a clinical diagnosis of HAP at a tertiary care hospital in Edinburgh, UK. To be classified as radiologically confirmed HAP in this study, chest X-ray evidence of a new or progressive lung infiltrate was required (reported by a radiologist), consistent with the 2005 ATS/IDSA guidelines. In comparison to community-acquired pneumonia, where the culture-positive rate of sputum samples at our institution has been reported as 30%, a bacterial pathogen was identified from 17 of 35 (48.6%) samples from patients with radiologically confirmed HAP and therefore has greater potential to influence management.	./cache/cord-283165-mdkr9qo0.txt	./txt/cord-283165-mdkr9qo0.txt
