Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Corona Virus Infection | Diagnostic Test: Assessment of ventilator-associated pneumonia criteria |
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (CoViD-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) became a pandemic affecting thousands of individuals worldwide. A considerable proportion of CoViD-19 patients require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), although limited data are available on their clinical characteristics and course. The results of retrospective studies indicate older age, presence of comorbidies and secondary infections as predictors of mortality among this population. Further evaluation regarding ICU clinical course and predictors of mortality is needed.
The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors for development of VAP and to identify the prognostic factors of VAP among CoViD-19 patients.

- Diagnostic Test: Assessment of ventilator-associated pneumonia criteria
Diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia is based upon the routine daily clinical and laboratory parameters.
- 28-day all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: at study completion, anticipated 5 months ]
- Days of mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: average time frame expected 2-3 weeks ]
- ICU length-of-stay [ Time Frame: average time frame expected 3-4 weeks ]
- Antibiotic utilization [ Time Frame: average time frame expected 3-4 weeks (at discharge from ICU) ]
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia rate [ Time Frame: at study completion, anticipated 5 months ]
