Pneumonia Severity Index - Over 4 million cases of Community Acquired Pneumonia are seen in the US every year.
Statistics indicate that more than 600000 of these are hospitalized and this accounts for approximately $4 Billion in cost related to hospitalization.
While hospitalization varies regionally, most physicians rely on subjective information provided by the patient and tend to overestimate the risk of death associated with pneumonia.
Sometimes patients that are admitted are inappropriately left on the General Medical Floor instead of being transferred to the Intensive Care Unit.
This suggests that there is no consistent standard for approaching patients with pneumonia.
Now there is a simple predictive program that can be used to detect those patients that are very critical that need to be in the ICU.
Pneumonia Severity Index can also help determine which patients can be safely treated as an outpatient if the computed risk of complication is low enough.
Pneumonia Severity Indexis based on 2 studies from which a prognostic model was developed to accurately identify critical patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia.
