The objective of this study was to demonstrate the association between the presence of anemia at admission and mortality in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia treated at “Hospital Víctor Lazarte Echegaray – EsSalud” during the period from 2021 to 2023. Materials and Methods: An observational, analytical, retrospective cohort study was conducted. Our population consisted of 165 patients hospitalized for community- acquired pneumonia, of which 55 had anemia at admission (exposed group) and 110 patients did not have anemia at admission (non-exposed group). Results: Of the patients hospitalized for CAP, 35.8% died, of whom 54.2% had anemia at the time of admission. Anemia at admission was statistically associated with mortality (RR: 1.6, 95% CI 1.2 – 3.4, p = 0.045). The average age of patients who died was 80.66 years, while the average age of those who did not die from CAP was 61.27 years (p = 0.037). 74.5% of the patients who died had malnutrition, and having malnutrition was associated with a 1.4 times higher risk of mortality from CAP (RR: 1.4, 95% CI 1.2 – 1.9, p = 0.003). 62.7% of the patients who died from CAP had some comorbidity, and having a comorbidity was associated with a 1.6 times higher risk of mortality in hospitalized patients with CAP (RR: 1.6, 95% CI 1.1 – 2.5, p = 0.045). A CURB-65 score greater than 3 was associated with mortality from CAP, as 69.5% of the patients who died had a high-risk CURB- 65 score (≥3) (RR: 2.25, 95% CI 1.2 – 4.8, p = 0.004). 54.2% of the patients who died had septic shock, and having septic shock was associated with a 1.4 times higher risk of death from CAP (RR: 1.4, 95% CI 1.2 – 3.4, p = 0.035). Leukocytosis was also associated with mortality from CAP, as 67.8% of the patients who died had leukocytosis (RR: 1.5, 95% CI 1.3 – 5.6, p = 0.023).
