    Identifying Cases of Severe Pneumonia

    Identifying whether cases of severe pneumonia presenting to Kilifi County Hospital are bacterial or viral in aetiology using a predictive model incorporating lab and clinical signs/ symptoms

    • In order to guide the rational use of antibiotics and prevent antimicrobial resistance, we need to be able to identify whether cases of severe pneumonia that present to the hospital are of bacterial aetiology (and therefore may benefit from antibiotic therapy) or viral and, therefore, need supportive care.
    • Much work has been done to identify potential biomarkers of bacterial disease; however, each biomarker has limited sensitivity and specificity. This project will combine all the available data, including laboratory markers and clinical signs and symptoms, to build a predictive statistical model of severe bacterial pneumonia and test how well this model predicts cases of known bacterial aetiology. The result will be a subset of factors or a score that can be used at the bedside to identify a probability that the case is bacterial compared to viral or other aetiology.
