In the case they do attend, they have higher chances of receiving a relative low-quality service at CPIs, CeDIs and Community Centers which have less resources, qualified personal and respond to less stringent regulations.

CPIS at VAT detection was 3.9 ± 0.9 and at VAP detection 6.1 ± 0.5 (day I) and 7.2 ± 0.8 (on day III).
However, MODS and CPIS at the onset of VAP were significantly higher in patients with VAP caused by multiresistant bacteria.
De-escalation was not performed in patients with a category 3 APACHE II score and CPIS at the time of de-escalation.
CPIS at baseline and presence of severe sepsis were similar during the two periods, but Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score was lower during pre-implementation (mean, 20.1 vs 21.6; P = 0.03).
Table 3 shows the characteristics of the study patients.> -wrap-foot> a CPIS at the time of study inclusion, before results of cultivation were available Number of patients The mean turnaround time for cMD was 71 h (min-max: 37.2 217.8 h).
Singh et al. [ 66] used a modified CPIS (calculated at baseline from the first five clinical variables, and CPIS at 72 hours was based on all variables of the score) that antibiotics were stopped in patients with a persistent low score (<6) after 3 days of therapy, avoiding unnecessary use of antibiotics, and all patients who discontinued the therapy improved.
The CPIS assessed at baseline was calculated retrospectively and did not differ significantly for patients with or without VAP.
Our concern is well illustrated by Munro et al. [ 4] reporting to have unexpectedly found 115/192 patients with CPIS ≥6 at day 1 of data collection.
The mean CPIS value at the time of diagnosis was statistically higher than 48 and 24 hours before in all patients (4.9 ± 0.8 vs 7.5 ± 1.5, P < 0.05); in 14/15 patients it was ≥6 (PPV 93%).
The association between polymicrobial or monomicrobial etiology and patients' outcomes was adjusted for variables potentially related to mortality, such as age, APACHE-II and SAPS scores at ICU admission, SOFA score, CPIS and arterial partial pressure of oxygen/inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2) ratio at onset of pneumonia, VAP or NV-ICUAP, and unilateral or bilateral chest x-ray infiltrates.
