Background: Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a public health issue with high morbimortality in Peru. Objectives: Validate Heckerling’s and Van Vugt’s clinical prediction models for CAP in the adult population that attended the service department in the Cayetano Heredia Hospital in the year 2022. Materials and methods: Observational, retrospective and cross-sectional study. Demographical (i.e. age and sex) and clinical (i.e. symptoms, signs and comorbidities) data were collected from medical records of the emergency department, the data was then registered in an Excel database and posteriorly analyzed using the program STATA 17 to calculate the individual value of Heckerling and Van Vugt criteria for each patient comparing it with the gold standard of the clinical criteria of 3 pneumologists. Results: No significant differences were found between the characteristics of the pneumonia and non-pneumonia groups and the area under the ROC curve obtained was 0.53 for Heckerling model and 0.5 for Van Vugt model. Conclusions: The models of Heckerling and Van Vugt couldn’t demonstrate a significant discriminatory capacity for the diagnosis of pneumonia in our population.
