Respiratory physiotherapy, early mobilization or tailored exercises may decrease length of stay (LoS), dyspnoea and readmissions, but there is little evidence of an effect on mortality. Nutritional interventions may decrease readmissions and improve 30-day mortality, but there are few studies on the effect of individual micronutrient supplementation. Strategies to improve discharge communications and patient education may decrease readmission rates, improve treatment compliance and patient satisfaction, whereas the implementation of guidelines and care bundles may decrease 30-day mortality but does not appear to affect length of stay or 30-day readmissions. For adjunctive therapeutic interventions, there is evidence that for severe CAP, corticosteroids probably decrease short-term mortality and possibly longer term mortality and LoS. Antiplatelet agents and statins may decrease short-term mortality. A wide range of adjunctive interventions have been trialled aiming to improve patient outcomes with variable results and considerable heterogeneity between studies and populations. Future studies should involve engagement with patient groups to identify uncertainties and outcomes they consider important, utilize a core set of outcome measures, and assess long-term outcomes.31:T772, Purpose of review We review recent evidence on the effectiveness of non-antimicrobial adjunctive interventions on the recovery of adults diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

lowered length of stay, dyspnea, and readmissions, with little evidence for a mortality effect. Discharge communication and patient education reduced readmissions and improved adherence and satisfaction, guideline care bundles reduced 30-day mortality without changing length of stay or 30-day readmissions, and in severe CAP, corticosteroids probably reduce short-term mortality (possibly longer-term mortality and length of stay), while antiplatelets and statins may also reduce short-term mortality.","limitations":"Evidence spans heterogeneous studies and populations; few trials address individual micronutrient supplements, and core outcomes and long-term follow-up are inconsistently assessed.","practice_takeaway":"For adults hospitalized with CAP, consider early mobilization/respiratory physiotherapy and strong discharge education to reduce readmissions and length of stay, and implement guideline-based care bundles.
