Summary
This cohort study in JAMA Network explored the incidence of and factors associated with inappropriate diagnosis of pneumonia in hospitalised patients. The results showed that older patients, those with dementia and those presenting with altered mental status had the highest risk of being inappropriately diagnosed. For those who were inappropriately diagnosed, full antibiotic duration was associated with antibiotic-associated adverse events.
