Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important public health problem. When combined with influenza, it is currently the eighth-leading cause of death in the United States1 and the most common infectious cause of death in the developed world. 2–4 Since site of care is the major determinant of cost and appropriate site of care presumably improves outcome, correct assessment of severity in CAP is understood to be crucial. 5, 6 One persistent problem in studies of CAP is the difficulty in defining and predicting pneumonia severity, although however it is defined severe CAP (SCAP) is a significant clinical and public health problem. 7The Infectious Disease Society of America and American Thoracic Society in 2007 issued consensus guidelines on CAP and SCAP (IDSA/ATS 2007), 5 as have the British Thoracic Society and other professional organizations. 8–10 Several authors, including our group, have published general reviews relative to CAP, SCAP, and severity assessment. 3, 11–17 In this review we consider the many approaches to defining pneumonia severity, their applications, implications, and limitations. We emphasize that definitions depend on goals. Different definitions may be required in different situations, and care should also be taken to distinguish descriptive from predictive applications of such definitions.
