Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The prevalence of CAP [Up to 12 months]
The prevalence of CAP
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Severity Assessment: Curb-65 [Up to 12 months]
Curb-65 is mainly used to evaluate the severity of pneumonia. The clinical indexes of curb-65 include: 1. Disturbance of consciousness, 2. Blood urea nitrogen > 7 mmol/L, 3. Respiratory frequency ≥30 times/min, 3. The severity of pneumonia 4. Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmhg or diastolic blood pressure ≤60 mmhg. 5. Age ≥65 years. If curb-65 score is 0-1, it is recommended that the patient be treated outside the hospital. Curb-65 has a score of 2 and is recommended for short-term hospitalization. If curb-65 score ≥3 indicates severe pneumonia, hospitalization or ICU treatment is recommended. With the increase of curb-65 score, the mortality of the patients will increase accordingly.
- Sputum culture [Up to 12 months]
According to the need for aerobic bacteria culture, anaerobic bacteria culture, Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture, or fungal culture, for the etiological diagnosis of respiratory infection.
