Abstract The impact of glucocorticoids, comorbid conditions, and immunosuppressive therapies on Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia risk remains understudied, and prophylaxis is underused. Among US adults in TriNetX prescribed glucocorticoids for ≥2 weeks, 44.6% received >20 mg prednisone equivalents daily. Prophylaxis rates were low, with higher glucocorticoid doses associated with lower prophylaxis odds.
