Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The hypothesis of this study is that long-term outcome in elderly patients admitted with the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) would improve with a multidimensional intervention including assessment of co-morbidities, nutritional, functional and cognitive status and immunization.

Study Groups

Multidisciplinar intervention

Patients that will receive the multidimensional intervention during the ambulatory follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multidimensional intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient will be cited 2 months after hospital discharge for a geriatric evaluation carried out by a geriatric nurse and an internist with geriatric training. The duration of the first visit is 45-60 minutes. The visit consists of: 1. Assessment of the pneumonia resolution, co-morbidities, aspiration risk, risk of multiresistant infections, and the immunization, functional and cognitive status. 2. An individualized intervention plan. The patient and family or caregiver will receive an educational intervention, a written report with the planned intervention and an educational leaflet. Those patients who require further assessment or follow up of the intervention will receive 1 or 2 more visits and all the patients will be cited one year after the first visit.

Conventional follow up

This is an observation only group and outpatient follow up will be indicated in accordance with usual and customary practices.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
