Abstract
Non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia is associated with substantial morbidity,
mortality and costs during an episode of acute care. We examined NVHAP incidence,
mortality, and costs of Medicaid beneficiaries over a 5-year period (2015-2019). Overall
NVHAP incidence was 2.63 per 1000 patient days, mortality was 7.76%, with excess cost
per NVHAP case of $20,189.
