1- Adequate empiric antibiotic treatment was based in the sensitivity test of the identified bacteria.

Definition of abbreviations: CAP – community-acquired pneumonia; HCAP – healthcare-associated pneumonia; MR – Multiresistant; RRT = renal replacement therapy; SAPS score = simplified acute physiology score; SOFA score = sequential organ failure assessment score.

Area under receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.822 (95% CI, 0.746–0.883); Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit (χ 2 = 2.0925 p = 0.5534)
