Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) accounts for an increasing proportion of the pulmonary infections in individuals with HIV infection. During the mid-1990s, hospital mortality rates for HIV-associated CAP ranged from 0 to 28%. While hospital differences in case mix may account for mortality rate variation, few methods to evaluate illness severity for HIV-associated CAP have been reported previously. The study objective was to develop a staging system for categorizing mortality risk of patients with HIV-associated CAP using information available prior to hospital admission. Design/setting/patients: Retrospective medical records review of 1,415 patients hospitalized with HIV-associated CAP from 1995 to 1997 at 86 hospitals in seven metropolitan areas.
