“…In a study of individuals with CAP who were treated as outpatients, Rocha et al found similar results. (5) Chief among the limitations of the present study are the small sample size, the fact that the PSI criteria was not used as a variable in the decision-making process regarding hospitalization, and the fact that other criteria, such as the CURB-65 or CRB-65 scores, which could identify severe cases missed by the PSI, were not used. In addition, no standard treatment protocol was followed after the cases were diagnosed.…”
