A logistic regression model conducted using mortality as dependent variable. Results total 621 included study. Among them, 47 (7.6%) died during hospitalisation period. multiple analysis, pleural effusion, higher CURB-65 score, hyponatremia, hyperglycaemia (being economic class) identified independent for community-acquired Conclusion Numerous influence CAP. addition score some other factors, also affect early outcome being class (as an indicator poverty) interpreted factor poor
