Overall mortality (51%) in patients with pneumonia complicated by septic shock is high. Increased time to administration of antimicrobial therapy, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II Score, serum lactate, and age were associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Classification and regression tree methodology offers a simple prognostic model with good performance in predicting in-hospital mortality.
