Table 4 shows that age, sex, race, hemoglobin, diastolic blood pressure <52 mmHg at ED triage, initial hemoglobin <10 mg/dL, initial albumin <3.5 g/dL, serum bicarbonate <20 mEq/L, initial sodium level >145 mEq/L, initial serum glucose >300 or <60 mg/dL, nursing home residence, clinical suspicion for pneumonia in the ED, presence of a dialysis catheter, and a history of diabetes, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, liver disease, chronic kidney disease, obstructive lung disease, stroke, AIDS, cancer and/or alcohol abuse were all included in the model. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and pneumonia.
