| Summary: | Aim. Сommunity-acquired pneumonia is life-threatening disease with level of fatal events in hospitals within 12-36 %. In turn, presence of congestive heart failure or type 2 diabetes increases the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
Methods and results. In the modern world’s literature there are many models predicting clinical outcomes of community-acquired pneumonia, but none of them includes questionnaires data for such patients. In our study, we used two questionnaires: "The scale of assessment community-acquired pneumonia" R. el Moussaoui and CapSym-12. C
Сonclusion. Using logistic regression, we have found statistically significant indices sample questionnaires prognostic opportunities which were used in this study to assess the health and dynamics of symptoms of community-acquired pneumonia and that allows us to predict the outcome community-acquired pneumonia.
