Not only is acute respiratory illness one of the top ten causes of death in the U.S., but it is associated with a 17% all-cause mortality rate 30 days after presentation and a 38% rate after one year. For those admitted to the ICU accounting for nearly a quarter of those hospitalized with CAP the corresponding morality rates are 27% and 47%, respectively.
