Long-Term Bedridden Status as a Predictor of in-Hospital Mortality in Older Adults with Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Long-term bedridden elderly individuals face a high risk of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) amid China's aging population, yet the specific mortality impact remains insufficiently studied. Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and in-hospital mortality between long-term bedridden and ambulatory elderly patients with CAP, and to identify risk factors for mortality. Methods: This retrospective study included 453 patients aged ≥75 years hospitalized with CAP from March 2016 to March 2019, divided into a bedridden group (n = 162) and a non-bedridden group (n = 291). Data on demographics, comorbidities, frailty (modified Frailty Index-5, mFI-5), functional status (Barthel Index), and laboratory parameters (eg, hs-CRP) were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of in-hospital mortality. Results: The bedridden group had a significantly higher mortality rate (27.16% vs 2.06%, P < 0.001) and elevated hs-CRP levels (40.2 ± 44.0 mg/L vs 19.9 ± 20.3 mg/L). Multivariate analysis identified bedridden status (OR = 11.99, 95% CI: 4.31-33.40), respiratory failure (OR = 6.80, 95% CI: 3.03-15.28), and renal dysfunction (elevated serum creatinine; OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02) as independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion: Long-term bedridden status is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in elderly CAP patients with inflammatory response potentially playing a critical role.
