Brief Summary
Multiplex respiratory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test has gained wide acceptance as an alternative to conventional culture methods for the detection of the causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The aim of this study is to evaluate the positivity and to determine the causative agent of CAP using multiplex respiratory PCR test in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Diabetic patients are at greater risk for developing CAP. Multiplex respiratory PCR test is an important method for identifying the causative agent of CAP rapidly.
September 2021 and June 2023
Study Arms (2)
Multiplex respiratory PCR test results of the groups
This single center retrospective observational study was conducted in Hisar Hospital Intercontinental between September 2021 and June 2023
we evaluated the importance of respiratory PCR in CAP
Subjects who had an infection other than pneumonia, and had a diagnosis of malignancy, transferred to intensive care unit and pregnant women were excluded.
Interventions
According to our hospital policy, nasopharyngeal swab samples are collected by the clinicians and transported to the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of the hospital in 10 minutes. The samples are analyzed in 2 hours and the samples were measured by Thermo Fisher / Applied Biosystems Quant Studio-5 for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing to detect multiplex respiratory agents
Eligibility Criteria
After the exclusion criteria applied, remaining 151 patients were enrolled in the study. Of the 151 subjects, 42 (27.8%) who were followed up with the confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus constituted group 1 and 109 (72.2%) ones who did not have a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus named as group 2. -
You may qualify if:
- In this study, a population of 190 people over the age of 18 were searched in terms of suitability for this work , who diagnosed with CAP after admission to the Department of Chest Diseases by using a multiplex respiratory PCR test.
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects who had an infection other than pneumonia, and had a diagnosis of malignancy, transferred to intensive care unit and pregnant women were excluded.
