At the baseline and Day 3, primarily responsible palliative care specialists recorded patient backgrounds, the results of physical and laboratory examination, and patient symptoms using the Support Team Assessment Schedule. Improvement was defined as improvement of dyspnea, cough, and sputum production on Day 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among all 1896 patients admitted during the study periods, 137 patients (7.2%) were enrolled into this study. Improvement was achieved in 65 patients (47.4%; 95% confidence intervals, 39\u201356). Univariate analyses revealed that the Palliative Prognostic Index (PPI), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen requirement were significantly associated with the improvement. A multiple logistic regression analysis identified that PPI score of \u2264 6 and RR of &lt;20 were independently associated with the improvement (odds ratios, 4.4 [1.6\u201312] and 2.5 [1.1\u20135.5], respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Antibiotics may relieve respiratory symptoms from pneumonia in approximately half of the terminally ill cancer patients.
