Pneumonia that develops 48 hours after intubation has been defined as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). Late-onset VAP (LO-VAP) is described as pneumonia that occurs within or after the 5th day of mechanical ventilation. We aimed to determine the factors that affect the mortality and survival in patients with LO-VAP.
