Figure 4

Plasma D-dimer levels correlate with PSI severity and outcomes in CAP patients. The probability of death in relationship with D-dimer levels in PSI categories IV and V is shown. D-dimer levels correlate well with increasing probability of death in PSI IV and V patients. Probabilities were calculated with a logistic regression model using PSI and D-dimer levels as independent variables. Reproduced with permission from Querol-Ribelles and coworkers [16]. CAP, community-acquired pneumonia; PSI, Pneumonia Severity Index.
