    Document: The primary outcome of this study was describing real-life microbiological testing among patients hospitalised with CAP, including the frequency of testing, laboratory technique used and patients' characteristics by testing status (tested patients versus not tested patients). This study had also two secondary outcomes. The first was to evaluate the influence of geography and disease severity on testing practices. ICU admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and combined administration of vasopressors and invasive mechanical ventilation were used as measures of disease severity. The second was to evaluate the concordance of real-life microbiological testing with the 2007 IDSA/ATS and the 2011 ERS guidelines for CAP.
