Por tanto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el tratamiento antibiótico antipseudomónico para pacientes con NAC grave en la UCI. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: se realizó un análisis secundario de una cohorte retrospectiva con un análisis de puntaje de propensión (PSM) en la Clínica Universidad de la Sabana, se toma registro de historias clínicas desde febrero de 2006 a abril del año 2021; dado que la obtención de datos de la base de datos Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC IV) no fue posible. Se incluyeron los pacientes con diagnóstico clínico, paraclínico y radiológico de NAC. Se tuvo en cuenta la asociación de variables demográficas, comorbilidades y resultados clínicos frente a la mortalidad de a Cefepime (CEF) versus Piperazilina Tazobactam (PTZ), el tamaño de muestra calculado por medio de la fórmula de Fleiss debía ser de 600 participantes en total, sin embargo, posterior al emparejamiento 1:1 en el PSM se obtuvo una muestra de 406 pacientes, inferior a la esperada. RESULTADOS: se obtuvo una muestra de 406 pacientes. El promedio de edad de toda la población fue de 70.28 años (DE: 19.5), con mayor frecuencia del sexo masculino para PTZ (51%). %). Las comorbilidades más frecuentes en ambos grupos fueron Hipertensión arterial (HTA) (49% Vs 48%; P=0.2018), y Enfermedad cerebrovascular (ECV) (33% en ambos grupos P=0.9749), la comorbilidad menos frecuente fue SIDA en ambos grupos (P= 0.3178).

abstract = {INTRODUCTION: Acquired-community pneumonia (ACP) is a main infectious disease that affect in 
UCI hospitalized people and in which the empirical treatment to patients that have risk factors to 
Pseudomona aeruginosa isnt clearly define don the international gidelines. The present study has 
as objective assessment the antibiotic therapy against pseudomona spp on this type of patients. 
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort was performed with a 
propensity score analysis (PSM) at the Universidad de la Sabana Clinic, registering medical records 
from February 2006 to April 2021; since obtaining data from the Medical Information Mart for 
Intensive Care (MIMIC IV) database was not possible. Patients with a clinical, paraclinical and 
radiological diagnosis of CAP were included. The association of demographic variables, 
comorbidities and clinical results with the mortality of Cefepime (CEF) versus Piperaziline 
Tazobactam (PTZ) was taken into account. The sample size calculated using the Fleiss formula should 
have been a total of 600 participants; however, after the 1:1 match in the PSM, a sample of 406 
patients was obtained, which was lower than expected.
RESULTS: a sample of 406 patients was obtained. The average age of the entire population was 
70.28 years (SD: 19.5), with a higher frequency of males for PTZ (51%). %). The most frequent 
comorbidities in both groups were Arterial Hypertension (AHT) (49% Vs 48%; P=0.2018), and 
Cerebrovascular Disease (CVD) (33% in both groups P=0.9749), the least frequent comorbidity was 
AIDS in both groups. groups (P= 0.3178). After matching, Rubin's index decreased from 53.4 to 6.2. 
After propensity score matching, 30-day mortality showed no difference between CEF or PTZ 
treatment (ATE: 0.051, 95%CI: -0.025-0.127, P=0.189 and ATET: 0.022, 95%CI: -0.061-0.105, 
P=0.603), CEF has a lower percentage of mortality versus PTZ (18.2% Vs 27.2%; P=0.012), as well as 
better performance in the survival curve (P=0.014).
DISCUSSION: To date, no study has been found in the literature that compares these two antibiotic 
therapy strategies in patients with severe CAP. This being the first study to compare this antibiotic 
therapy strategy in this clinical entity. It is found that the study population is elderly, with multiple 
comorbidities. Mortality obtained by PTZ is similar to that reported in the literature, mortality by 
CEF is lower than that reported in the literature. The main limitation of the study is the sample size, 
since with a larger sample size the results could have been significant.
CONCLUSIONS: CEF y PTZ are antibiotics that might use in the management acute of ACP to patients 
with risk factors to Pseudomona aeruginosa indistinctly. A larger sample is needed for the 
differences between these two antibiotics in this clinical context to be significant.},
