The included age, gender, malnutrition, anemia, level consciousness, comorbidities, bacterial culture, multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). analyses were performed Chi-squared Mann-Whitney U tests, followed by multiple logistic linear regression tests correlation between (recovery, death, LOS). Results: 102 patients HAP, majority being males (64.7%) aged 60 years old above. Additionally, most did not exhibit malnutrition (87.3%) or anemia (96.1%), had normal levels consciousness (67.6%) mild comorbidities (60.8%), infected MDROs (66.7%), predominantly Klebsiella pneumoniae (21.6%). test revealed decreased significantly increased mortality (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, age above shorter LOS = 0.05). Conclusion: cases occurred in men Furthermore, there significant relationship as well LOS.
