Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Procalcitonin lab test
A procalcitonin order bundle will be created for admitted patients with pneumonia. This prepopulated bundle includes an initial and 24 hour procalcitonin level. These patients will receive treatment for their pneumonia as is deemed appropriate by their care teams, both in the Emergency Department and while an inpatient. Then, after discharge, the 30 day mortality, length of stay, choice of antibiotic therapy, and qSOFA score (which will be retroactively calculated) will be compared to the patient's initial and 24 hour procalcitonin level.
