Dementia as a risk factor for 30-day mortality in community-acquired pneumonia in Colombia (CAP): A survival study
Patients with dementia who developed pneumonia had a significantly higher mortality rate. They were also characterized by advanced age, multiple comorbidities, and greater disease severity. Our findings emphasize the importance of prioritizing individualized care to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life.
