Antibiotics and Mortality in Patients with Lower Respiratory Infection and Advanced Dementia
Original language description
To describe long-term mortality rate and to assess associations between mortality rate and antibiotic treatment of lower respiratory infection in patients with advanced dementia; antibiotic treatment allocation was independent of mortality risk-leaving less room for biased associations than in previous multicenter observational studies. Design: Prospective study (2004-2009). Multilevel Cox proportional hazard analyses with adjustment for mortality risk were used to assess associations between antibiotics and mortality using time-dependent covariates. Participants: Ninety-four residents with advanced dementia who developed 109 episodes. Survival, treatment, mortality risk, illness severity, fluid intake, and several other patient characteristics. Results: Ten-day mortality was 48%, and 6-month mortality was 74%. Antibiotics were used in 77% of episodes. Overall, antibiotics were not associated with mortality rate (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.70, Confidence Interval [CI] 0.38-1.30); however, ant
