Macrolide combination therapy for patients hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia? An individualised approach supported by machine learning.

The European respiratory journal
BACKGROUND: The role of macrolide/β-lactam combination therapy in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) of moderate severity is a matter of debate. Macrolides expand the coverage to atypical pathogens and attenuate pulmonary inflammation, but have been ...

Severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP): advances in management and future directions.

Thorax
Severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP) is a major global health challenge, with high morbidity and mortality, especially among patients requiring intensive care. Despite advancements in antimicrobial therapies and supportive care, sCAP remains a ...

Machine Learning Accurately Predicts Need for Critical Care Support in Patients Admitted to Hospital for Community-Acquired Pneumonia.

Critical care explorations
OBJECTIVES: Hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients are admitted for ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy (RRT). This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model that predicts the need for such interventi...
