社区获得性肺泡肺炎（CAAP）通常与细菌感染有关，在全世界的弱势群体中尤其普遍。作者研究了贝都因儿童的营养状况和腹泻史作为 CAAP 的危险因素，入组前 31 天内发生 1 次腹泻（AOR = 2.30，95% CI：1.26，4.19；p = 0.007）被确定为 CAAP 的危险因素。结果表明，改善产前保健和婴儿营养状况可能会降低贝都因儿童患 CAAP 的风险。此外，他们认为开发预防腹泻的疫苗也可能降低 CAAP 的风险。
Community-acquired alveolar pneumonia (CAAP) is typically associated with bacterial infections and is especially prevalent in vulnerable populations worldwide. The authors studied nutritional status and diarrheal history as risk factors for CAAP in Bedouin children = 1 diarrhea episodes within 31 days prior to enrollment (AOR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.26, 4.19; p = 0.007) were identified as risk factors for CAAP. Results suggest that improving antenatal care and the nutritional status of infants may reduce the risk of CAAP in Bedouin children. Furthermore, they suggest that vaccines developed to prevent diarrhea may also lower the risk of CAAP.
