Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of chemical pneumonitis usually develop after aspiration of gastric acid.
- Following aspiration, within two hours, respiratory distress and cyanosis happen.
- The clinical course following chemical pneumonitis might be rapid clinical recovery or worsening of respiratory distress and hypoxemia.
Complications
- Common complications of aspiration pneumonia include:
- Segmental or lobar pneumonia
- Bronchopneumonia
- Bronchiectasis
- Lung abscess
- Empyema
- Respiratory failure
- Bacteremia
- Shock
- Death
Prognosis
- Aspiration pneumonia prognosis is generally good, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with aspiration pneumonia is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
