Implication

Prospective observational study compares pneumonia characteristics in bronchiectasis patients, highlighting microbiological differences and mortality risks.

Key Points

This study aims to compare clinical characteristics of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in patients with and without bronchiectasis (BE).
Prospectively enrolled 2,572 adults hospitalized with CAP at Kurashiki Central Hospital.
Categorized patients into BE and non-BE groups based on chest CT findings.
Compared demographic characteristics, causative pathogens, pneumonia severity, and 30-day outcomes.
Higher prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in BE patients (11.3%) compared to non-BE patients (0.7%), P < 0.001.
30-day mortality rate was significantly higher in the BE group (13.2%) versus non-BE group (6.4%), P = 0.01.
No significant differences in pneumonia severity indices between groups.
