TL;DR: A prediction rule that stratifies patients into five classes with respect to the risk of death within 30 days accurately identifies the patients with community-acquired pneumonia who are at low risk for death and other adverse outcomes and may help physicians make more rational decisions about hospitalization for patients with pneumonia.

TL;DR: Mortality for patients hospitalized with CAP was high and was associated with characteristics of the study cohort, pneumonia etiology, and a variety of prognostic factors.

TL;DR: The increased mortality associated with delirium appears to be explained by greater severity of illness, and identifies elderly at risk for death, longer hospitalization, and institutionalization.

TL;DR: The ESC Committee for Practice Guidelines (CPG): Silvia G. Priori (Chairperson) (Italy), Maria Angeles Alonso Garcia (Spain), Jean-Jacques Blanc (France), Andrzej Budaj (Poland), Martin Cowie (UK), Jaap Deckers (The Netherlands), Enrique Fernandez Burgos (Spain, John Lekakis (Greece), Bertil Lindhal (Sweden), Gianfranco Mazzotta (Italy, JoA£o Morais (Portugal), Ali Oto (Turkey), Otto Smiseth

TL;DR: Clinical prediction rules for severe CAP do not appear adequately robust to guide clinical care at the current time, and ICU use for CAP is common and expensive but admission rates are variable.
