CRB-65 for Risk Stratification and Prediction of Prognosis in Pulmonary Embolism. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2023 Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is accompanied by high morbidity and mortality. The search for simple and easily assessable risk stratification scores with favourable effectiveness is still ongoing, and prognostic performance of the CRB-65 score in PE might promising. Methods: The German nationwide inpatient sample was used for this study.

Limited prognostic accuracy of the CRB-65 and qSOFA in patients presenting with pneumonia and immunosuppression [PDF]
European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020 Scores for risk prediction used in immunocompetent patients with sepsis or pneumonia are poorly evaluated in immunocompromised patients. Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic value of the qSOFA- and CRB-65-criteria in immunocompromised patients presenting with pneumonia.Retrospective cohort study including consecutive patients hospitalized with ...

Assessment of oxygenation and comorbidities improves outcome prediction in patients with community‐acquired pneumonia with a low CRB‐65 score [PDF]
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015 AbstractBackgroundAddition of assessment of comorbid diseases (‘D’) and oxygen saturation (‘S’) to the CRB‐65 score has been recommended to improve its accuracy for risk stratification in community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP). The aim of this study was to validate the resulting DS‐CRB‐65 score in a large cohort of patients with CAP.MethodsA total of 4432 ...

CRB-65: Predictor for Intensive Care Unit Admission in Patients with Biliary Tract Infection Presenting to An Emergency Department [PDF]
Signa Vitae, 2020 Objectives: Biliary tract infection (BTI) is a common cause of bacteremia and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, studies on screening tools to predict disease severity in BTI patients are lacking. This study aimed to comparatively validate CRB, CRB-65, quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), and Systemic Inflammatory ...

The pneumonia severity index and the CRB-65 in cancer patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2009 The ability of the pneumonia severity index (PSI) and the CRB-65 to identify patients with low vs. high risk for mortality among cancer patients with CAP has not been evaluated.Subjects with cancer, CAP/Ca(+), and without cancer, CAP/Ca(-), were identified from the Community-Acquired Pneumonia Organization database.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin as a new biomarker of inflammation, infection and disease severity in community-acquired pneumonia: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlpha-1 antitrypsin (α1-AT), an acute-phase protein, demonstrates anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. The early detection of disease severity and pathogen in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is crucial for patient management.

Factors associated with antibiotic initiation and bacterial coinfection in adults with confirmed influenza [PDF]
BMC Infectious DiseasesBackground Influenza causes seasonal epidemics worldwide. Bacterial coinfection is a serious complication that, due to diagnostic uncertainty, often results in empirical antibiotic overuse. We aimed to identify clinical and biochemical factors associated
