Indices mentioned above were correlated with each other(Pearson correlation test) (p<0,000).There was no difference between indices according to total cure and development of complication due to pneumonia(p>0,05).Duration of hospitalization of CAP patients was categorized as 0-14 days and more than 14 days.These indices were found significiantly different when comparison was done according to this categorization(p<0,05).PSI, A-DROP, CURB-65, CRB-65,and SOAR indices were found to be correlated with each other.All of the indices mentioned above has low estimation rate for treatment outcomes and development of complication due to pneumonia but high estimation rate for the duration of hospitalization.
