## Abstract
Background: Among the 1 017 290 people surveyed, the prevalence of pneumonia was 2.5% in the 55-64 age group, 3.0% in the 65-74 age group, and 2.9% in those aged 75 years and older. This indicates an increase in pneumonia prevalence from 1.8% to 2% in Indonesia. This study aimed to compare the length of treatment and comorbidities in older and adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia at Jakarta Sukapura Islamic Hospital and Jakarta Pondok Kopi Islamic Hospital between September 2022 and September 2024. Methods: This was a comparative study with a cross-sectional design, and secondary data from 244 patient samples were used. Results: Among adult patients, 101 had a length of treatment of ≤5 days, whereas 17 had a length of treatment of >5 days. Among older patients, 67 had a length of treatment of ≤5 days, whereas 59 had a length of treatment of >5 days. Comorbidities were absent in 69 adult and 45 older patients. A total of 49 adult patients and 81 older patients had comorbidities. Conclusion: Older patients with community-acquired pneumonia had a longer treatment duration and more comorbidities than adult patients with bacterial community-acquired pneumonia.
