What is Association of Radiology Findings with Etiology of Community Acquired Pneumonia among Children about?
Objective To evaluate the association between consolidation on chest radiograph and typical bacterial etiology of childhood community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the Etiology of Pneumonia in the Community (EPIC) study. Study Design Hospitalized children <18 years with CAP enrolled in EPIC at three children’s hospitals between January 2010 and June 2012 were included. Testing of blood and respiratory specimens used multiple modalities to identify typical and atypical bacterial, or viral infection. Study radiologists classified chest radiographs (consolidation, other infiltrates [interstitial and/or alveolar], pleural effusion) using modified WHO pneumonia criteria. Infiltrate patterns were compared according to etiology of CAP Results Among 2212 children, there were 1302 (59%) with consolidation with or without other infiltrates, 910 (41%) with other infiltrates, and 296 (13%) with pleural effusion. In 1795 children, at least one pathogen was detected. Among these patients, consolidation (74%) was the most frequently observed pattern (74% in typical bacterial CAP, 58% in atypical bacterial CAP, and 54% in viral CAP). Positive and negative predictive values of consolidation for typic
