[PMID: 38491965 PMCID: PMC11175663 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciae147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of standard care (SoC) combined with supervised in-bed cycling (Bed-Cycle) or booklet exercises (Book-Exe) versus SoC in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, 186 patients with CAP were assigned to SoC (n = 62), Bed-Cycle (n = 61), or Book-Exe (n = 63). Primary outcome length of stay (LOS) was analyzed with analysis of covariance. Secondary outcomes, 90-day readmission, and 180-day mortality were analyzed with Cox proportional hazard regression and readmission days with negative-binominal regression. RESULTS LOS was -2% (95% CI: -24 to 25) and -1% (95% CI: -22 to 27) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe, compared with SoC. Ninety-day readmission was 35.6% for SoC, 27.6% for Bed-Cycle, and 21.3% for Book-Exe. Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for 90-day readmission was 0.63 (95% CI: .33-1.21) and 0.54 (95% CI: .27-1.08) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared with SoC. aHR for 90-day readmission for combined exercise was 0.59 (95% CI: .33-1.03) compared with SoC. aHR for 180-day mortality was 0.84 (95% CI: .27-2.60) and 0.82 (95% CI: .26-2.55) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared with SoC. Number of readmission days was 226 for SoC, 161 for Bed-Cycle, and 179 for Book-Exe. Incidence rate ratio for readmission days was 0.73 (95% CI: .48-1.10) and 0.77 (95% CI: .51-1.15) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared with SoC. CONCLUSIONS Although supervised exercise training during admission with CAP did not reduce LOS or mortality, this trial suggests its potential to reduce readmission risk and number of readmission days.

Adiponectin as a predictor of mortality and readmission in patients with community-acquired pneumonia: a prospective cohort study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1329417. [PMID: 38633314 PMCID: PMC11022597 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1329417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Adiponectin is secreted by adipocytes and is inversely associated with obesity. Given the association between low body mass index (BMI) and higher mortality risk after community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), we hypothesized that high adiponectin levels are associated with a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CAP. Methods In a prospective cohort study of 502 patients hospitalized with CAP, adiponectin was measured in serum at admission. The associations between adiponectin and clinical outcomes were estimated with logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, and measures of obesity (BMI, waist circumference or body fat percentage). Results Adiponectin was associated with higher 90-day mortality for each 1 μg/mL increase [OR 1.02, 95% CI (1.00, 1.04), p = 0.048] independent of age and sex. Likewise, adiponectin was associated with a higher risk of 90-day readmission for each 1 μg/mL increase [OR 1.02, 95% CI (1.01, 1.04), p = 0.007] independent of age and sex. The association between adiponectin and 90-day mortality disappeared, while the association with 90-day readmission remained after adjusting for adiposity. Conclusion Adiponectin was positively associated with mortality and readmission. The association with mortality depended on low body fat, whereas the association with readmission risk was independent of obesity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common infection associated with high morbimortality and a highly deleterious impact on patients' quality of life and functionality. We comprehensively review the factors related to the host, the causative microorganism, the therapeutic approach and the organization of health systems (e.g. setting for care and systems for allocation) that might have an impact on CAP-associated outcomes. Our main aims are to discuss the most controversial points and to provide some recommendations that may guide further research and the management of patients with CAP, in order to improve their outcomes, beyond mortality. AREA COVERED In this review, we aim to provide a critical account of potential measures to improve outcomes of CAP and the supporting evidence from observational studies and clinical trials. EXPERT OPINION CAP is associated with high mortality and a highly deleterious impact on patients' quality of life. To improve CAP-associated outcomes, it is important to understand the factors related to the patient, etiology, therapeutics, and the organization of health systems.

Abstract
Once an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individual enters the onset period, a variety of opportunistic infections may occur, affecting various systems and organs throughout the body, due to the considerable reduction in the body’s immune function. The objectives of this study were to explore the relationship between immune status and microbial communities in the lungs of individuals with HIV infection. A total of 88 patients with lung disease [80 (91%) HIV-positive and 8 (9%) HIV-negative] were enrolled in our study between January and July 2018, and 88 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were obtained during bronchoscopy. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated differences in the pulmonary microbiome of patients with HIV who had different immune statuses. The diversity of bacteria in the lungs of HIV-positive individuals was lower than that in HIV-negative individuals (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference in the composition and distribution of bacteria and fungi between the HIV-positive and HIV-negative groups (p < 0.01). The number of fungal species in the BALF of HIV-positive patients was higher than in HIV-negative patients. The diversity of bacteria and fungi in the BALF of HIV-positive patients increased with decreasing CD4 T-cell counts. Linear regression analysis showed that Pneumocystis (R2 = 6.4e−03, p < 0.05), Cryptosphaeria (R2 = 7.2e−01, p < 0.05), Candida (R2 = 3.9e−02, p < 0.05), and Trichosporon (R2 = 7.7e−01, p < 0.05) were negatively correlated with CD4 counts (F-test, p < 0.05). The samples collected from HIV-positive patients exhibited a different pattern relative to those from the HIV-negative group. Differences in host immune status cause differences in the diversity and structure of lower respiratory tract microorganisms.
