Validation of the qSOFA and CRB-65 in SARS-CoV-2-infected community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]
Rationale Prognostic accuracy of the quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and CRB-65 (confusion, respiratory rate, blood pressure and age (≥65 years)) risk scores have not been widely evaluated in patients with SARS-CoV-2-positive compared ...

Low CRB-65 Scores Effectively Rule out Adverse Clinical Outcomes in COVID-19 Irrespective of Chest Radiographic Abnormalities [PDF]
Background: CRB-65 (Confusion; Respiratory rate ≥ 30/min; Blood pressure ≤ 90/60 mmHg; age ≥ 65 years) is a risk score for prognosticating patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Role of Semi-quantitative Serum Procalcitonin in Assessing Prognosis of Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia Compared to PORT PSI, CURB-65 and CRB-65 [PDF]
Introduction: Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is one of the commonest causes of patient’s visit to the Emergency Room (ER). Hospitalisation of patient depends on severity of pneumonia.

Severity assessment of lower respiratory tract infection in Malawi: derivation of a novel index (SWAT-Bp) which outperforms CRB-65. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of CRB-65 (Confusion, Respiratory rate >30 breaths/min, BP65 years) as a pneumonia severity index in a Malawian hospital population, and determine whether an alternative score has greater accuracy in this setting. DESIGN:
