Non-HIV-infected patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia in the intensive care unit: A bicentric, retrospective study focused on predictive factors of in-hospital mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) among patients without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to increase. Here, we identified potential risk factors for in-hospital mortality among HIV-negative patients with PCP admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed medical records of 154 non-HIV-infected PCP patients admitted to the ICU at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) and China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH) from October 2012 to July 2020. Clinical characteristics were examined, and factors related to in-hospital mortality were analyzed.

Results

A total of 154 patients were enrolled in our study. Overall, the in-hospital mortality rate was 65.6%. The univariate analysis indicated tha
