  Pneumonia Mortality --TABLE   BACK to List of IndicatorsD        R        A        F        T
Pneumonia is a medical condition involving an infection in the lungs. An irritation to the lining of the lungs causes fluid to collect, often making breathing difficult. Pneumonia typically is treated with antibiotics, sometimes in an outpatient setting. However, death may occur even when the patient is in the hospital, especially in patients with weakened respiratory systems or other chronic health problems. There is a significant impact from patient factors and admitting practices (whether your doctor thinks you need to be in the hospital or not).
