Background: Hypoalbuminemia is associated with the nutritional status of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2); it is related to oxidative stress and alterations in lipid and protein metabolism, and is a risk factor for mortality in the critically ill patient. Furthermore, DM2 has been associated with an increase in infection-related mortality. We explored the association of these metabolic conditions with mortality and related factors in patients with nosocomial pneumonia. Methods: We included 120 patients with nosocomial pneumonia in a referral hospital; demographic and clinical data were obtained. Data were compared by χ2 and logistic regression analysis. Results and conclusions: Mortality of patients with hypoalbuminemia was 50%; 43/46 (91.2%) patients who died had hypoalbuminemia (p  =  0.0001). DM2 was present in 59.2% of patients, and was significantly associated with hypoalbuminemia (p < 0.05). Other associated factors were mechanical ventilation (91.7%), higher Candida Score, higher incidence of acute renal failure, and higher requirements of FiO2. Results showed that low albumin levels were an independent mortality factor. (Hosp Med Clin Manag. 2019;12:107-12) Corresponding author: Liliana Alcaraz-Gaytán, Nexusyosoy@gmail.com
