Time to recovery from severe community-acquired pneumonia and its determinants among older adults admitted to North Wollo hospitals: A multi-centred cohort study
On average, older adults take 19 days to recover from severe community-acquired pneumonia. Recovery times are notably longer for individuals aged >75 years, those with comorbidities, and those with elevated white blood cell and creatinine levels. Therefore, tailored interventions addressing these specific factors could potentially improve patient outcomes.
