In patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), indicators of clinical instability at discharge are associated with poor outcomes. It is not known whether the order of indicator stabilization is associated with outcomes. We describe variation in the sequences, including whether and in what order, instabilities resolve among patients hospitalized with CAP, and find… Show more

In patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), indicators of clinical instability at discharge are associated with poor outcomes. It is not known whether the order of indicator stabilization is associated with outcomes. We describe variation in the sequences, including whether and in what order, instabilities resolve among patients hospitalized with CAP, and find important associations between patterns of stabilization and patient-level outcomes.
