Furthermore, the PSI is more useful for identifying low-risk patients who may be safely treated as outpatients rather than those with severe CAP. pneumoniae, after controlling for comorbid illness, although patients infected by resistant organisms may have more severe disease and suppurative complications as well as a more prolonged hospital stay.
