Abstract
At the time of FASTCAP, NHAP was included in the category of CAP, and coherently, treatment of NHAP was not more aggressive if compared to community-acquired infections. However, our results confirm that NHAP is at increased risk for worst outcome, and probably worth considering for specific therapeutic strategies. Future studies are needed to better assess the microbiology of NHAP, and to evaluate if specific treatments, as those recommended by recent guidelines, may improve the outcome for these high-risk patients.
