Coquille Valley Hospital Comments on Pneumonia:
An intensive review of the specific cases reported as mortalities revealed that 2 of the 7 cases were "Do NOT resuscitate (DNR)" cases, which may have been for the most part "expected" as opposed to "unexpected" deaths upon admission. In addition, 3 of the remaining 5 cases demonstrated comorbid diagnosis (i.e. "secondary diagnosis") of advanced (stage IV), mediastinal metastatic lung disease (CA). Of the remaining 2 cases, both had associated comorbidities indicative of a "mediastinal mass or pleural-based tumor that could NOT be ruled out.
