Comparison of CURB-65 and CRB-65 as predictors of death in community-acquired pneumonia in adults admitted to an ICU [PDF]

Crit Care, 2013
Community-acquired pneumonia is one of the most common causes of sepsis and ICU admissions. Patients with CAP who demand critical care had mortality rates of 25 to 50%. Thereby, the assessment of the severity is essential to guide the treatment. There are several severity scores for CAP and some of the most acknowledged are CURB-65 and CRB-65.
