Abstract

Smoking is known to cause interstitial lung diseases, such as interstitial pneumonia and the prognosis, which are well seen when patients quit smoking. Smoking cigarette negatively affects the effectiveness of therapy, cure rates, and a higher risk of recurrence in pulmonary TB. This study analyzes smoking habits’ influence on therapy outcomes in patients with pneumonia infection at RSP (Pulmonary Hospital) Respira Yogyakarta. The researchers conducted an observational study with a cross-sectional study design and a retrospective data collection method employing medical records. Observations were carried out on pneumonia patients divided into two groups: the smoking and non-smoking groups. The data collection method used total sampling. The observed outcomes of therapy were the length of stay and the effectiveness of therapy. This study utilized chi-square as its statistical analysis. The 130 patients who met the criteria were divided into two groups: the smoking and non-smoking groups with 65 people each. The results revealed that the effectiveness of therapy in the smoking group had a 26% chance of recovery, an improvement of 61%, and not-yet-cured of 13%. Meanwhile, in the non-smoking group, they had a 47% chance of recovery, an improvement of 43% and not-yet-cured of 10%. The statistical test results with Chi-square obtained p-value of < 0.05 (p = 0.039). The results on the length of stay showed that 82% of patients in the smoking group and non-smoking group had a length of stay of ≤ 5 days, and 12% of patients had a length of stay of > 5 days in both group. Hence, smoking habits significantly affected therapy’s effectiveness but did not significantly influence the length of stay.
