title: [The risk factors of death in community-acquired pneumonia].
abstract: In this study we estimate influence of concomitant diseases and age on risk of death because of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We performed retrospective analysis of 405 CAP cases. All patients have been treated in Central Hospital of Military School of Medicine in Warsaw from 1990 to 1997. We showed statistically significant influence of age > 65 yr. (OR = 5.71; CI: 1.41-23.22; p = 0.015), chronic heart failure (OR = 2.57; CI: 1.1-5.99; p = 0.029) and chronic renal failure (OR = 3.35; CI: 1.06-10.54; p = 0.039) on high risk of death in patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
