SM-HAP/VAP and KP-HAP/VAP patients in ICU might have a similar prognosis in mortality, the total duration of the artificial airway and ventilator use, the total length of ICU stay, and hospital stay. The risk factors of SM-HAP/VAP versus KP-HAP/VAP might be the artificial airway, ventilator use, gastric tube placement, acid suppressant and antibiotics (especially carbapenem).
