Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) for the PORT study and the two European cohorts. The ROC curves plot the sensitivity (y axis) vs. 1-specificity (x axis) of the PSI score to predict 28-day all-cause mortality. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) quantifies the overall discriminatory power of the PSI for predicting mortality. The AUCs differed across the three study populations (p <0.01) and were largest for the Pneumonia PORT and Pneumocom-2 populations, and smallest for the Pneumocom-1 population.
