“…Additionally, Albaum et al 7 found an association with multilobar pneumonia, and Hasley 28 suggests that the presence of bilateral pleural effusions may be an indicator of congestive heart failure or severe pneumonia. At the same time, Daley et al, 29 Marrie et al 30 and Fujiki et al 10 found that the extent of pulmonary disease, given by the number of lobes involved, is directly related to increased severity and mortality. It should be noted that the absence of such association in our study could be explained by the low frequency of events in each of the outcomes tested.…”

“…7,10,[28][29][30] At least two of them 7,28 found an association between the presence of pleural effusion and 30-day mortality. Additionally, Albaum et al 7 found an association with multilobar pneumonia, and Hasley 28 suggests that the presence of bilateral pleural effusions may be an indicator of congestive heart failure or severe pneumonia.…”

“…Although sensitivity analysis was performed by excluding the retrospective observational studies, the influence of methodological quality (study design) on bias was still unknown. Moreover, four cohort studies [34][35][36][37] and one case-control study 38 were included in the metaanalysis, in which one cohort study 34 did not document the ascertainment of CAP, and the other four studies divided CAP patients into patients who died or patients who survived, and were thus excluded from our review. In addition, that meta-analysis focused exclusively on mortality, the other clinically important outcomes including length of hospital stay, ICU admission and need for mechanical ventilation were not investigated.…”

“…In Japan, it ranks as the fourth leading cause of death (1,5), while in the US, it is the sixth leading cause and the most common cause of death from infectious disease (2,6). The mainstay of treatment for most patients with CAP is timely and appropriate antimicrobial therapy, which should be guided by several considerations including the suspected pathogen, disease severity, the spectrum of activity, clinical pharmacological properties, efficacy and tolerability of the antimicrobial agent, the setting, the presence of co-morbidities (e.g.…”
