ABSTRACT

Objective To study the influence of long-term use of BZDs on the process and prognosis of elderly CAP.Methods The clinical information of the patients was retrospectively analyzed.According to whether the long-term use of BZDs was divided into the observation group (84 cases) and the control group (103 cases),there was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Two groups of patients were treated with conventional CAP,compared the two groups of patients with treatment,progress and prognosis of pneumonia.Results There was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05) in the therapeutic effect between the two groups;CPIS of the observation group after the treatment of 7d was significantly lower than that before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),later than that of the control group.The mortality rate,ICU ratio,hospitalization cost and days of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Adverse reactions were no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion Long-term using BZDs is not beneficial to the elderly CAP patients and worsen the prognosis situation.Therefore the clinical application of BZDs to elderly CAP patients should be made with cautiousness.
