RESUMEN
Objetivos: determinar las variables asociadas con mortalidad por neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC) en un hospital de Colombia. Materiales y métodos: estudio de corte transversal en pacientes mayores de 14 años con diagnóstico de NAC entre 1 enero 2010 y 30 marzo 2012. Se consideraron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas, paraclínicas y terapéuticas. se hicieron análisis bivariados y multivariados con paquete estadístico SPSS-20.0. Resultados: de 297 casos con NAC, hubo predominio masculino (53.5%), edad promedio 56.3±22.4 años. El 22.6% de los casos murieron. Las variables frecuencia cardiaca >120/minuto (OR:3.8; IC 95%:1.492-10.008, p = 0.005), sepsis (OR:6.7; IC95%:2.193-20.823, p=0.001), ingreso a unidad de cuidado intensivo (OR:8.9; IC 95%:2.831-28.592, p<0.001) se asociaron estadísticamente con riesgo de morir por NAC. Discusión: se identificaron los factores de riesgo asociados a mortalidad por NAC. Se debe implementar una guía de práctica clínica que cuantifique el riesgo para ofrecer la mejor atención posible y el cuidado necesario que identifique las variables relacionadas con un desenlace fatal.

ABSTRACT
Objectives: to determine the variables associated with mortality due to Community acquired Pneumonia (CaP) in a hospital in Colombia. Materials and methods: cross-sectional study in patients older than 14 years with a diagnosis of CAP between January 1st, 2010 and March 30th, 2012. Socio-demographic, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic variables were considered. Bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed with SPSS-20.0. Results: of 297 cases with CAP there was male predominance (53.5%); mean age 56.3 ± 22.4 years. 22.6% of patients died. The variables heart rate > 120/minute (OR: 3.8 , 95% CI:1.492-10.008, p = 0.005) , sepsis (OR : 6.7 , 95% CI :2.193-20.823, p = 0.001), admission to intensive care unit (OR: 8.9, 95% CI: 2.831 -28.592, p < 0.001) were statistically associated with the risk of death by CAP. Discussion: we identified risk factors associated with mortality due to CAP. It must implement a clinical practice guideline to quantify the risk to provide the best possible care and the care needed to identify the variables associated with a fatal outcome.
