Areas of poor compliance are: need for hospitalization, assessment of oxygenation, initial empirical antibiotic therapy, switch therapy, etiological study and indication for blood culture, administration of pneumococcal and influenza vaccine, and the offer of smoking cessation therapy.</p><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A number of organizations that audit the quality of care in hospitals are increasingly using quality indicators as an evaluation tool.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a></p><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since no previous studies evaluating adherence to national CAP management guidelines in Venezuela have been performed, we had no point of reference with which to compare our findings. A similar study, also using the CAPO database, was conducted in Argentina in 2003,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0180"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> reporting poor compliance with recommendations on switch therapy, administration of pneumococcal vaccine and offer of smoking cessation therapy. Considering that these countries share certain characteristics and social and economic values, it is interesting to note the difference in compliance with the remaining quality indicators used in both studies. One reason for this could be Argentina's tendency to adhere more strictly to care standards defined in European and US guidelines.</p><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As far as the need for hospitalization is concerned, the IDSA/ATS clinical practice guidelines for management of CAP in adults published in 2007<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> recommend the use of the CURB-65 severity score as the criterion for hospitalization (Level I evidence). They clarify, however, that the attending physician can also take other factors into consideration, such as the availability of and due compliance with oral antibiotic therapy, and the availability of social and family outpatient support resources. Other factors that can influence the decision to hospitalize the patient are decompensation of underlying diseases (for example, cardiovascular disease, COPD, etc.) and poor response to oral antibiotic therapy in the outpatient setting. Alberti et al., in a study conducted in Italy, reported that 58% of patients with a CURB-65 score of 0–1 seen in emergency rooms were hospitalized, with admission justified in 83% of these patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> Another important factor to consider in hospitalization is hypoxemia. Although this is not one of the CURB-65 parameters, it has been identified by some authors in almost 50% of patients with a CURB-65 score of 0–1, and also as the main reason for hospitalization.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> Nevertheless, it is important to note that compliance with the recommendation to assess baseline oxygen saturation was poor in Venezuela. This factor, therefore, was unlikely to have had any major influence on the decision to hospitalize in our cohort of CAP patients. The same problem arises with the “confusion” parameter: a patient with CAP combined with mental confusion would probably be hospitalized even with a score of 1. These elements, and above all social factors, could well be among the reasons for hospitalization in 92% of patients with a CURB-65 score <2 in our cohort.</p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Assessment of oxygenation at admission is part of good clinical practice. It is used to determine the severity of CAP and helps identify the need for hospitalization (even though it is not a CURB-65 parameter). It is also a determining factor in the decision to give oxygen therapy and transfer the patient to the ICU. Given the importance of this assessment, it is alarming to note that it was carried out in only 15% of patients admitted for CAP, particularly since it is an economic, quick, simple diagnostic test that does not need to be performed by highly trained medical personnel.</p><p id="par0205" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is clear that the early administration of antibiotic therapy does not always imply that the right drug was given. The use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials could be an indication of failure to identify the source of infection. Compliance with the recommendation to administer the first dose of antibiotics within 8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>h of admission was good in our cohort. However, there is no consensus in the literature as to the best time to administer antibiotics in patients hospitalized for CAP and the impact of this on clinical outcomes.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15–22</span></a></p><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although antibiotics were generally administered at an early stage, adherence to national guideline recommendations on the choice of antibiotic was poor. Despite availability of the antibiotics most commonly used in CAP, most physicians opted for beta-lactam monotherapy without considering coverage for atypical pathogens. The literature has shown that combination therapy in CAP patients improves clinical outcomes.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0265"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23,24</span></a> A possible explanation for these shortcomings could be the failure to implement local guidelines on antibiotic therapy and the rational use of antibiotics, and poorly trained healthcare personnel. Another factor could be logistics, i.e., lack of coordination between the emergency department, the ward and the hospital pharmacy.</p><p id="par0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Failure to comply with recommendations on switch therapy, meanwhile, is common to all countries worldwide.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0180"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6,25–27</span></a> The same factors preventing medical personnel from correctly implementing switch therapy in CAP patients found in Argentina and Venezuela have also been reported in other countries. Some of the reasons for this could be the lack of clearly stated recommendations in local clinical practice guidelines, the physician's misgivings regarding the outcome of the switch, and absence of protocols to check for switch criteria during daily ward rounds (for example, check lists in medical records). According to the literature, compliance with this indicator ranges from 22% to 94%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0275"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> In this respect, it should be noted that an early switch to oral therapy is extremely beneficial: it shortens hospital stays and simplifies initial empirical antibiotic therapy while reducing both the detrimental effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics (infections caused by catheters, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Clostridium difficile</span>, colonization by multi-drug resistant pathogens, etc.) and hospital costs.</p><p id="par0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The level of compliance with each indicator is obviously not an isolated factor; rather, each indicator is connected to the following, like links in a chain. Therefore, it is far more difficult to switch from intravenous to oral therapy if the etiological agent of the disease is unknown. As a result, empirical intravenous therapy is often continued for the entire course of treatment, with the subsequent increase in care costs, length of stay, and adverse effects.</p><p id="par0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As mentioned above, it is essential to determine the etiological agent of CAP in order to improve compliance with other quality of care indicators. These diagnostic tests contribute to early implementation of switch therapy and reduce the risks associated with intravenous catheters and broad-spectrum antibiotics. The lack of etiological studies in hospitalized patients with CAP in Venezuela is alarming. Various factors could contribute to this situation: restricted access to diagnostic kits due to high cost (pneumococcal and/or legionella urinary antigen test), failure to understand that early etiological diagnosis can improve other indicators, lack of training in sampling techniques (medical staff), infrastructural shortcomings and shortage of laboratory technicians trained in the interpretation of test results, and logistics problems (lack of coordination between the emergency department, the ward and the hospital pharmacy prevents clinical samples from being correctly taken and transported to the lab).</p><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Prevention strategies are probably poorly implemented in most Latin American countries, and therefore poor compliance with vaccination and smoking cessation recommendations in both Argentina and Venezuela are to be expected. Studies in other parts of the world have found a similar trend: only 17% of smokers in internal medicine wards and 66% in cardiology wards are advised to stop smoking.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0290"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> Some authors have suggested that advice received in hospital does not result in smoking cessation if it is not followed-up for at least 1 month after discharge.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0295"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a> There are several pharmacological aids for cessation (nicotine patches, varenicline, ibupropion, etc.) that are often ignored in these countries for reasons of cost and because many believe that only behavioral strategies are effective in achieving smoking cessation.</p><p id="par0235" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pneumococcal vaccination still plays an important part in efforts to reduce the severity and complications associated with invasive pneumococcal disease, above all in elderly patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0300"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">30</span></a> The reasons for poor compliance with this parameter could be similar in both countries. The most common reasons include the lack of implementation of local guidelines and vaccination algorithms, scarcity of vaccines and trained healthcare professionals, lack of electronic clinical records that would improve registry practices, and lack of inclusion criteria check lists in clinical records, to name just a few.</p><p id="par0240" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We believe that these 3 prevention indicators can be improved by improving registry techniques and clinical record documentation. Such a low level of compliance is more likely to be related to under-reporting than non-compliance.</p><p id="par0245" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has a number of important limitations. First, we did not consecutively evaluate all hospitalized patients with CAP. We acknowledge that a random selection of patients (the first case documented each month) is not the best approach, and could have biased the selection to a certain extent. This could also explain why most cases of pneumonia in our cohort were not severe. Secondly, study sites (hospitals) were chosen on the basis of the active participation of one of the researchers in the CAPO, which could suggest that our findings are not a true reflection of the reality of Venezuela.</p><p id="par0250" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The major strength of this study is that this is the first collection of detailed information on hospitalized patients with CAP in Venezuela, including all the quality indicators discussed in the literature.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,3,5–11</span></a></p><p id="par0255" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, our findings show that there are many aspects of CAP management in Venezuela that do not comply with national SOVETHORAX guidelines.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> In any quality improvement strategy, the first step is always to evaluate differences between recommendations and routine clinical practice This study has taken the first step; the challenge now is to implement the processes needed to improve CAP management in Venezuela.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Contributors</span><p id="par0260" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><ul class="elsevierStyleList" id="lis0005"><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0005"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0265" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Gur Levy: study protocol, concept, study design.
