It refers to infections that occur prior to hospital admission in patients with specific risk factors following contact or exposure to a healthcare environment. There is currently no scoring index to predict the outcomes of HCAP patients. We applied and compared different community acquired pneumonia CAP scoring indices to predict 30-day mortality and 3-day and 14-day intensive care unit ICU admission in patients with HCAP. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on an inpatient database from six medical centers recruiting a total of 444 patients with HCAP between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2007. Pneumonia severity scoring indices including PSI pneumonia severity index CURB 65 confusion urea respiratory rate blood pressure age 65 IDSA ATS Infectious Diseases Society of America American Thoracic Society modified ATS rule SCAP severe community acquired pneumonia SMART-COP systolic blood pressure multilobar involvement albumin respiratory rate tachycardia confusion oxygenation pH SMRT-CO systolic blood pressure multilobar involvement respiratory rate tachycardia confusion oxygenation and SOAR systolic blood pressure oxygenation age respiratory rate were calculated for each patient. Patient characteristics co-morbidities pneumonia pathogen culture results length of hospital stay LOS and length of ICU stay were also recorded. Results PSI 90 has the highest sensitivity in predicting mortality followed by CURB-65 2 and SCAP 9 SCAP score area under the curve AUC PSI AUC and CURB-65 AUC . Compared to PSI .
