  1. Abbreviations: CI: Confidence interval; ICU: Intensive Care Unit; OR: Odds Ratio; PSI: Pneumonia Severity Index.
  2. aOnly 405 patients in whom blood cultures were made were evaluated.
  3. For mortality we adjusted by age, disabling neurological disease, haematologic neoplasia, chronic renal failure, bacteremia and ICU.
