Pneumonia patient study using electronic health records
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at pneumonia patients in two emergency departments to see if using a new electronic tool can improve care. It collects information from hospital records to understand how well the tool works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You were seen in an emergency department at Vanderbilt or Wilson County
- You have pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, or sepsis with pneumonia, or you had a chest X-ray

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests and rolls out an electronic support tool (ePNa) to help urgent care clinicians decide how to evaluate and manage pneumonia. It may help by standardizing decision-making so patients get more consistent care.
This trial studies a new testing method (HCAP-Pcr) for people with pneumonia caught in the hospital or other healthcare settings. Doctors will use a special lung washing procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage to quickly identify the cause of the infection, which could help guide treatment faster.
This study tests new ways to diagnose pneumonia faster and more accurately in older adults who come to the emergency room with breathing problems. The goal is to see if these new tests work better than the current methods.
This is a retrospective study (looking back at past patient records) of people hospitalized with pneumonia to understand how the disease progresses and what factors affect recovery. Researchers will examine medical records of pneumonia patients admitted within 72 hours of symptom onset to identify patterns in who recovers well and who develops serious complications.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (sudden worsening of symptoms). It aims to help people who come to the emergency room with a COPD flare-up get better care and follow-up.
This study tests a pneumococcal vaccine designed for 20 types of bacteria in older adults who are hospitalized with suspected community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to see how the vaccine works in real-world care and whether it affects how pneumonia happens or progresses.
