Table 4 Proposed prediction tools for multidrug-resistant pathogens in patients admitted with hemodialysis-associated pneumonia
| Risk of MDR pathogens | Predictive factors | No. of patients | No. (%) of patients isolated with MDR pathogens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | PSI score ≤ 147 and no recent hospitalization | 52 | 4 (7.6%) |
| Moderate | PSI score > 147 or recent hospitalization | 39 | 11 (28.2%) |
| High | PSI score > 147 and recent hospitalization | 14 | 9 (64.2%) |
