Abstract (English): Most evaluations of the burden of pneumonia in hospitalized patients are partial and concern specific subgroups of patients. However, few studies allow for the assessment of the global scope of the problem and the potential for intervention with guidance that could improve its diagnosis and treatment. This descriptive study conducted in a tertiary-care center aimed to determine the prevalence of pneumonia in hospitalized adults, to characterize its origins and etiology, and to evaluate the feasibility of a telematic intervention to advise on its diagnosis and treatment. A prevalence study was performed on the 653 adult inpatients admitted in July 2025. The pneumonia prevalence per 1,000 admitted patients was overall 36.8, community-acquired 24.5, nosocomial non-ventilator-associated 9.2, and nosocomial ventilator-associated 3.1. An etiological agent was identified in 29.2% of cases. In a critical review of the cases, opportunities to optimize either diagnosis or treatment were detected in 100% of pneumonia patients. After 30 days of dynamic follow-up of the selected cohort, overall mortality was 16.7%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La mayor parte de las evaluaciones sobre la carga de neumonía en pacientes hospitalizados son parciales y conciernen a subgrupos específicos de pacientes. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que permiten conocer la dimensión global del problema y valorar las posibilidades de intervenir con consejos que puedan mejorar su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Este estudio descriptivo en un centro de tercer nivel tuvo como objetivo determinar la prevalencia de neumonía en adultos hospitalizados, conocer sus orígenes y etiología, y valorar las posibilidades que habría de una intervención telemática para aconsejar sobre su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Se realizó un estudio de prevalencia de los 653 pacientes adultos ingresados en el mes de julio de 2025. La prevalencia de neumonía por 1000 pacientes ingresados fue, respectivamente: global 36,8, comunitaria 24,5, nosocomial no relacionada con la ventilación mecánica 9,2 y nosocomial asociada a la ventilación mecánica 3,1. Se logró identificar el agente etiológico en el 29,2% de los casos. En la evaluación crítica de los casos, se detectaron oportunidades para optimizar el diagnóstico o el tratamiento en el 100% de los pacientes con neumonía. Después de un seguimiento dinámico de la cohorte seleccionada, durante 30 días, se observó una mortalidad global del 16,7%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
