Rates and risk factors associated with hospitalization for pneumonia with ICU admission among adults.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Lung ultrasound and echocardiography are mainly applied in critical care and emergency medicine. However, the diagnostic value of cardiopulmonary ultrasound in elderly patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is still unclear. METHODS:Consecutive patients admitted to ICU with the diagnosis o...
