- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study that determined whether decreased mortality is related to hospital performance on the time to first antibiotics dose (TFAD) measure for patients with pneumonia admitted to the emergency department (ED). An overview of the cross-sectional analysis method used in the study is provided as well as the population-averaged logistic regression model. The study showed that increased mortality with odds ratios (OR) is associated with increasing age of patients.
