1 Severity of illness scoring systems in patients with bacteraemic pneumococcal pneumonia: implications for the intensive care unit care  C. Feldman, S. Alanee, V.L. Yu, G.A. Richards, A. Ortqvist, J. Rello, C.C. C. Chiou, M.B. F. Chedid, M.M. Wagener, K.P. Klugman  Clinical Microbiology and Infection  Volume 15, Issue 9, Pages (September 2009) DOI: /j x Copyright © 2009 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions

2 FIG. 1 Receiver-operating curves (ROC) for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). PBS, Pitt Bacteraemia Score; Mod-ATS, Modified-ATS; PSI, Pneumonia Severity Index. Clinical Microbiology and Infection  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 2009 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions

3 FIG. 2 Receiver-operating curves (ROC) for all patients. PBS, Pitt Bacteraemia Score; Mod-ATS, Modified-ATS; PSI, Pneumonia Severity Index. Clinical Microbiology and Infection  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 2009 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions

4 FIG. 3 Patients stratified by severity of illness scoring systems and mortality [intensive care unit (ICU) vs. no ICU]. The histogram represents mortality in patients not admitted to the ICU minus mortality in patients admitted to the ICU. The higher the improvement in per cent mortality between ICU care vs. no ICU care, the more useful the SOI score is for clinicians. PBS, Pitt Bacteraemia Score; ATS, Modified-ATS criteria; PSI, Pneumonia Severity Index; IDSA/ATS, Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society guidelines.
