Abstract

Objectives: Nursing and healthcare-associated pneumonia (NHCAP) was proposed by the Japanese Respiratory Society to refer to healthcare-associated pneumonia. This study aimed to investigate whether antipseudomonal antibiotic therapy improved the prognosis of NHCAP patients at high risk for antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. Methods: Consecutive hospitalised NHCAP patients in Kurashiki Central Hospital between October 2010 and December 2016 were prospectively enrolled. NHCAP patients who were at high risk for antimicrobial resistance were defined as those who received antimicrobials in the prec
