Aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia in hospitalized adult patients in New Caledonia

Abstract: Summaryobjective To describe the aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in hospitalized adult patients in New Caledonia, a French archipelago in the South Pacific.methods Confirmed CAP patients (n = 137) were enrolled prospectively. Pathogens were detected by culture, molecular methods, serology on paired sera, immunofluorescence on nasopharyngeal swabs and antigen detection in urine.

“…High statistical heterogeneity of the included studies ( I 2  = 95%) removed confidence in reporting an estimate of the pooled mean proportion of bacterial coinfection through meta‐analysis. Using Cook's distances to identify studies that most greatly affected the heterogeneity and results, we found that seven studies contributed more than 50% of the heterogeneity 29, 31, 34, 39, 40, 45, 46. The proportion of bacterial coinfection among the remaining 20 studies, representing 64% of all patients, was between 11% and 35% ( I 2  = 37%).…”

“…The full‐text review resulted in the exclusion of an additional 74 articles. A total of 27 articles encompassing 3215 patients met all the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54. Of those 27, only eight studies, with 334 patients, provided the numbers or percentages of each bacterial coinfecting pathogen 28, 32, 33, 34, 38, 43, 46, 47.…”

“…The advent of PCR has greatly improved the identification of viruses in patients with CAP [1]. Over the last decade, several studies have used PCR to establish the importance of viruses in the aetiology of CAP [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. An updated and objective literature review that quantitatively summarises and critically appraises the results of these studies is warranted.…”
