Whether the etiology of CAP is viral or bacterial should be determined based on the patient interview, clinical symptoms and signs, biological findings and radiological data from the very first hours of the patient's presentation (a time when microbiological findings are typically not yet available). The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare the abilities of experienced physicians and a data-driven approach to answer this simple question within the first hours of a patient's admission to the ICU for CAP: is it a viral or a bacterial pneumonia? Step 2: clinician and data-driven predictions of microbial etiology Clinicians and a mathematical algorithm were tasked with predicting the microbial etiology of pneumonia cases based on all clinical (43 items), and biological or radiological (17 items) information available in the first 3-h period after admission except for any microbiological findings (Supplementary Table 1 ). ./cache/cord-004464-nml9kqiu.txt ./txt/cord-004464-nml9kqiu.txt
