Additional information
Data were used from the PneuMonitor study (Netherlands trial register number NTR5071). The PneuMonitor study prospectively included 464 pneumonia episodes in 429 patients in 32 nursing homes between January 2012 and May 2015. The decision whether or not to treat the pneumonia with antibiotics was at the discretion of the physician.A total of 380 episodes were eligible for analysis to develop the current prediction model.

Conditional information
Result interpretation
The model showed good discrimination on internal validation (AUC = 0.80) and calibration remained adequate (Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic: p = 0.67)
