Postgraduate Medicine, 1999
Relatively simple objective criteria are now available to predict which patients are at risk for bad outcomes from community-acquired pneumonia. In general, these include older patients and those with certain coexisting illnesses (especially neoplastic disease) or findings of altered mental status, hypotension, severe tachycardia, tachypnea, fever ...
