Pneumonia: Diagnosis and Health Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the NICE Guideline Pneumonia in adults: diagnosis and management (CG191) will be reinstated, following its withdrawal in 2020 from active circulation.
- Answer
-
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) plans to commence the update of the guideline in summer 2022. NICE advises that for managing COVID-19 pneumonia and identifying and treating bacterial pneumonia secondary to COVID-19, healthcare professionals should follow recommendations in ‘COVID-19 rapid guideline: managing COVID-19’. For guidance on managing bacterial pneumonia not secondary to COVID-19, healthcare professionals should follow NICE’s guidelines on ‘Pneumonia (community-acquired): antimicrobial prescribing’ and ‘Pneumonia (hospital-acquired): antimicrobial prescribing’. No specific assessment has been made of the impact of the withdrawal of ‘Pneumonia in adults: diagnosis and management’.
