Diagnostic criteria SCAP • Are we aware of existing criteria and if so, do we use them ? • Validity of Criteria • Where we need to go
Diagnostic criteria SCAP • Are we aware of existing criteria and if so, do we use them ? • Validity of Criteria • Where we need to go
Aims • To understand the perception of physician attitudes to define which patients with CAP should be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) Hypothesis • Significant variation among physicians occur regarding who should be admitted to the ICU
Demographics n=383

Practice setting Academic (n=182) vs. Non-academic (n=203) p=0.02 p<0.01 p=0.04 Percentage
Conclusions • Criteria to define the need for ICU admission were infrequently reported by survey responders • Important differences were found in academic vs. non-academic practitioners regarding the criteria used to admit patients to the ICU with CAP
Implications • There is a need for more unified and appropriate criteria to define which patients with CAP require admission to the ICU

Mortality and Care ICU Ward Home Risk of dying due to CAP
Step-1 Risk class I (lowest severity level) Age < 50 years No comorbid conditions (neoplastic diseases, liver disease, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, or renal disease) Normal or only mildly deranged vital signs and normal mental status Step-2 Not Risk class I Classes II-V 3 -Demographics 5 -Comorbid conditions 5 -Physical exam findings 7 -Laboratory or radiographic findings Stratification CAP-PORT Fine MJ, et al.

MAJOR Mechanical ventilation Multilobar or increase infiltrates >50% in 48h Septic Shock or need for vasopressors >4h Acute renal failure Severe Pneumonia Criteria • MINOR • SBP < 90 mm Hg • DBP < 60 mm Hg • RR >30/min • PaO2/FiO2 < 250 • Bilateral or multilobar infiltrates • 1 of 2 major criteria • 2 of 3 minor criteria ATS guidelines. AJRCCM. 2001;163:1730-1754
Methods • Study Design • A retrospective observational cohort study of patients hospitalized at a two teaching hospitals in San Antonio, Texas • VA medical center and county-run referral hospital • Admission between Jan 1, 1999 and Dec 31, 2001 • Study was approved by the institutional board review

Procalcitonin (PCT) • Stimulated by bacterial endotoxin • Viral and localized infection have lower PCT levels than systemic infections • Autoimmune and neoplastic disease do not induce • Short half life
PCT and Diagnosis P=0.0004 NyamandeInt J TB Lung Dz 2006; 10: 510
PCT and Antibiotics • RCT to examine whether PCT guidance associated with less antibiotic use • PCT strata • <0.1- Antibiotics strongly discouraged • 0.1-0.25- Antibiotics discouraged • 0.25-0.5- Antibiotics advised • >0.5- Antibiotics strongly recommended Christ-Crain AJRCCM 2006 174: 84
PCT/CRP and Treatment Failure • Prospective cohort of 453 CAP patients • 18% treatment failures • CRP & PCT higher in failures • Day 1 • CRP: 13.6 vs. 23.2 • PCT: 0.5 vs. 1.5 • Day 3 • CRP: 4.5 vs. 12.1 • PCT 0.3 vs. 0.5 Menendez Thorax 2008; 63:447
Conclusions • Revisited ATS rule has the best power to predict the need for ICU admission • PSI score is the best predictor for mortality due to CAP • The CURB-65 rule may be used as an alternative tool to the PSI for the detection of low risk patients, but is not a good rule to define ICU admission
Conclusions • Described rules are imperfect and have significant limitations due to the the difficult of application to individual patients • Further studies are needed to develop clinical prediction tools for high-risk patients requiring ICU admission
