cohort, the rate of these outcomes increased
steadily from low- to high-risk classes for the
SCAP score as well as for the PSI and CURB-65
(p 0.001). In the internal validation cohort,
there were no significant differences in outcomes
such as ICU admission and mechanical ventilation
for the PSI and CURB-65. This could be attrib-
uted to a lower proportion of these two outcomes
in the internal validation cohort.
All three scores predicted treatment failure with
low to moderate discrimination in the external vali-
dation cohort. It must be noted that the initial
severity of CAP is only one factor predicting treat-
ment failure. Other factors, such as the causal mi-
croorganism and treatment-related factors,
17
are not
part of the three prediction tools.
The SCAP score classified a significantly higher
proportion of patients as low risk in both cohorts
than the PSI and CURB-65, with lower rates of all
adverse outcomes. Another goal of the tool is its
negative predictive value. If the score is low, ICU
admission and others adverse outcomes are very
unlikely. In addition, patients identified as high risk by
the SCAP score had somewhat higher rates of ICU
admissions, need for mechanical ventilation, and severe
sepsis compared with the PSI and CURB-65. Thus,

in those patients initially managed with amoxicillin alone.
Changing to doxycyline or a new fluoroquinolone such as
levofloxacin are alternatives.
In the patient with high severity pneumonia already receiving
a b-lactam/clarithromycin regimen, the addition of levofloxacin
should be considered. In addition, urgent referral to a respiratory
physician should be made for clinical assessment including the
possible need for bronchoscopic sampling.
Recommendations
c When a change in empirical antibiotic therapy is
considered necessary, a macrolide could be substituted
for or added to the treatment for those with low
severity pneumonia treated with amoxicillin mono-
therapy in the community or in hospital. [D]
c For those with moderate severity pneumonia in
hospital on combination therapy, changing to doxycy-
cline or a fluoroquinolone with effective pneumococcal
cover are alternative options. [D]
c Adding a fluoroquinolone is an option for those with
high severity pneumonia not responding to a b-lactam/
macrolide combination antibiotic regimen. [D]
8.18 Antibiotic stewardship and avoiding inappropriate antibiotic
prescribing for CAP
Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is a driver for antibiotic
resistance and increases the likelihood of development of C
difficile infection. Given the frequency of admissions to hospital
for suspected CAP and the difficulty in identifying a causative
pathogen often leading to initial empirical broad-spectrum
antibiotic therapy, it is timely to offer guidance to limit
inappropriate prescribing in the context of the management of
patients with CAP.
Ensuring an accurate diagnosis of CAP is the most important
issue in relation to the avoidance of inappropriate antibiotic
prescribing. One study reported that 29% of hospitalised

*Treatment can be modified once the results of sensitivity testing are available.
{A higher dose of 1.0 g tds is recommended for infections documented to be caused by less susceptible strains (minimum
inhibitory concentration .1.0 mg/l).
{Currently UK licensed and available suitable fluoroquinolones include ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and levofloxacin. Moxifloxacin can
be used for patients who cannot be treated or have failed treatment with other antibacterials.
1Specifically for legionella pneumonia, the large majority of published experience regarding the efficacy of fluoroquinolones is only
with levofloxacin. For high severity or life-threatening legionella pneumonia, combination therapy including the preferred and an
alternative antibiotic can be considered for the first few days (see text for further details). Rifampicin is not recommended on its
own but could be considered as the second additional antibiotic.

Conceptos Generales
Suprimir el tabaquismo es una medida fundamental para todo paciente.
- Factor de riesgo independiente de presentar neumona.
- Efecto directamente proporcional al nmero de paquetes/ao reducidos.
Neumococo es un objetivo importante de inmunizacin.
- Indicada en todo adulto mayor (>65 aos) y en pacientes de riesgo (2 a 64 aos).
- Neumo23 disminuye incidencia de episodios bacterimicos.
- Aplicable durante la convalecencia.

inactivated inuenza and concomitant PPV in

hospital admission for inuenza and pneumonia,
whereas after adjustment it did.

We identied ve randomised controlled trials
published over four decades and including just over
5000 observations. Given their heterogeneous nature by
vaccines tested (monovalent, trivalent, live, or inactivated
aerosol vaccines), setting, follow-up, and outcome
denition, no rm conclusions can be drawn from this
body of evidence. Two trials had adequate randomisation
and allocation concealment,

adequate measures to prevent attrition bias.

The results
of the most recent trial

are difcult to interpret because
of the presence of selection bias. Based on the results of a
meta-analysis of the two trials, inactivated vaccines were
more effective than placebo against inuenza-like disease

El manejo es guiado por la valoracin del riesgo de cada episodio y
antecedentes epidemiolgicos
Cuando no hay criterios de mejora debe pensarse en un diagnstico
