Evaluation of the Performance of CURB-65 With Increasing Age [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 There has been concern about the performance of CURB-65 in older patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and that younger patients who subsequently die are initially misclassified as having non-severe CAP. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the performance of CURB-65. We analysed data prospectively, collected in two

Outcomes of community-acquired pneumonia using the Pneumonia Severity Index versus the CURB-65 in routine practice of emergency departments [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2023 Background The Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and the CURB-65 score assess disease severity in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We compared the clinical performance of both prognostic scores according to clinical outcomes and admission ...

Applicability of the CURB-65 Pneumonia Severity Score for Outpatient Treatment of COVID-19 [PDF]
Journal of Infection, 2020 The CURB-65 is a severity score to predict mortality secondary to community acquired pneumonia and is widely used to identify patients who can be managed as outpatients. However, whether CURB-65 can be applicable to COVID-19 patients for the decision of outpatient treatment is still unknown.We conducted a retrospective single-centre study assessing the

CURB-65 for community-acquired pneumonia severity using severity index. [PDF]
BioinformationCritical pulmonary embolism (CAP) demands precise risk stratification tools for optimal resource allocation and treatment site decisions. Therefore, it is of interest to compare CURB-65 versus Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) in 320 CAP patients for predicting 30-day mortality and ICU needs.

Predicting in-hospital death in pneumonic COPD exacerbation via BAP-65, CURB-65 and machine learning [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2022 Introduction There is no established clinical prediction model for in-hospital death among patients with pneumonic COPD exacerbation. We aimed to externally validate BAP-65 and CURB-65 and to develop a new model based on the eXtreme Gradient Boosting ...
