3. Efecto de los corticosteroides sobre la mortalidad y la curación de la neumonía adquirida en la comunidad
Abstract
Esta revisión investigó el papel de los corticosteroides en pacientes hospitalizados con neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC). Se encontró que el uso de corticosteroides se asoció con una menor necesidad de ventilación mecánica, sin diferencias significativas en mortalidad, fracaso del tratamiento o eventos adversos. No obstante, se observó un aumento en el riesgo de reingreso hospitalario en el grupo de corticosteroides.
This review investigated the role of corticosteroids in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The use of corticosteroids was found to be associated with a reduced need for mechanical ventilation, with no significant differences in mortality, treatment failure, or adverse events. However, an increased risk of hospital readmission was observed in the corticosteroid group.
