* Community-acquired versus nosocomial Legionella pneumonia: factors associated with Legionella-related mortality.

- Over the past decade, changes in the diagnosis and management of Legionella pneumonia occurred and risk factors for severe infection and increased mortality were identified. Previous reports found that nosocomial infection is associated with higher mortality while others showed no differences. We aimed to evaluate the differences in the clinical course and mortality rates between hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Legionella pneumophila. A retrospective cohort study of patients admitted due to Legionella pneumonia between January 2012 through November 2019 was conducted in a tertiary referral center (Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel). The primary outcome was 30-day Legionella pneumonia-related mortality. A multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine whether a nosocomial infection is an independent predictor of mortality. One hundred nine patients were included. Seventy (64.2%) had CAP and 39 (35.8%) had HAP. The groups were comparable regarding age, gender, and comorbidities. Time to diagnosis was longer and the number of patients receiving initial empiric anti-Legionella spp. treatment was smaller in the HAP group (8 days [IQR 5.5-12.5] vs. 5 days [IQR 3-8], p < 0.001 and 65.5% vs. 78.6%, p = 0.003, respectively). Patients with HAP had higher 30-day mortality, 41% vs. 18.6%, p = 0.02. In a multivariable logistic regression model, only pneumonia severity index and nosocomial source were independently associated with increased mortality. HAP caused by Legionella spp. is independently associated with increased mortality when compared to CAP caused by the same pathogen. The possible reasons for this increased mortality include late diagnosis and delayed initiation of appropriate treatment.
