Version: Fine (PORT) PSI 1997 — ABRIDGED: lab and imaging components omitted
Source: Fine MJ, et al. A prediction rule to identify low-risk patients with community-acquired pneumonia. N Engl J Med. 1997;336:243–250. Abridgement is by Pharmapedia.
Appropriate in: Reference for adults with community-acquired pneumonia. This abridged points count is a partial score only.
Limitations: LABS AND IMAGING ARE NOT INPUTS HERE, so the total is a LOWER BOUND of the true PSI and CANNOT be mapped to PSI risk classes.
The full PSI adds points for pH<7.35, BUN≥30, Na<130, glucose≥250, Hct<30, pO2<60 and pleural effusion.
Do not use this abridged total for site-of-care or mortality decisions — it will under-estimate risk.

For educational use. Results support, and do not replace, clinical judgement — check them against the patient and local guidelines.
