Compliance with the CURB-65 score and the consequences of non-implementation

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2011
The CURB-65 (confusion, urea >7 mmol/l, respiratory rate ≥ 30 breaths/min, low blood pressure and age ≥ 65 years) score is a simple, well-validated tool for the assessment of severity in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). It is unknown whether it is used routinely in China.To determine the frequency of use of the CURB-65 score in routine hospital ...

CURB-65 as an initial prognostic score in Internal Medicine patients

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2013
There are few validated tools to assess severity in patients admitted to an Internal Medicine service. The aim of this study was to evaluate if CURB-65 score, previously validated as mortality index in community acquired pneumonia, could also be used in those patients.We analyzed prospectively all patients admitted to Hospital Sierrallana (Spain) from ...

Usefulness of CURB-65, PSI and MuLBSTA in predicting COVID-19 mortality

Respiratory infections and bronchiectasis, 2021
Objective: The aim is to evaluate the accuracy of CURB-65, Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and MuLBSTA, a viral pneumonia, in predicting mortality in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia admitted at Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital from February

Fine score is superior to CURB-65 in predicting severity of pneumonia

General Practice and Primary Care, 2017
Background: Fine and CURB-65 scores are widely used to assess severity of pneumonia and to decide on the admission. Hospitalization is indicated from the class 3 in Fine score and from the score 2 in CURB-65 score. The aim of this study was to compare the contribution of Fine score and CURB-65 in the prediction of the evolution of pneumonia.

CURB-65 and mortality in pneumonic and non-pneumonic exacerbations of COPD

European Respiratory Journal, 2011
Background: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) requiring hospitalisation are often complicated by consolidation. In patients with pneumonia and AECOPD (pAECOPD) the CURB-65 prediction tool is widely used yet its utility in this population is uncertain.

Comparison of severity scoring systems A‐DROP and CURB‐65 for community‐acquired pneumonia

Respirology, 2008
Background and objective:  The initial assessment of the severity of community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is important for patient management. The Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS) has proposed a 6‐point scale (0–5) to assess the clinical severity of CAP.

The utility of CURB-65 scoring in the acute management of radiologically proven pneumonia

Clinical Problems, 2018
Introduction: CURB65 (Confusion with abbreviated mental test score 7mmol/L, Respiratory rate>/=30/minute, Blood pressure /=65years) is validated in primary care for triaging community-acquired pneumonia to decide on hospital admission. In UK hospitals, C-Reactive Protein (CRP) level is nearly always done in pneumonia patients but its additional value ...

CURB-65 Score is Equal to NEWS for Identifying Mortality Risk of Pneumonia Patients: An Observational Study

Lung, 2018
The CURB-65 score is widely implemented as a prediction tool for identifying patients with community-acquired pneumonia (cap) at increased risk of 30-day mortality. However, since most ingredients of CURB-65 are used as general prediction tools, it is likely that other prediction tools, e.g.
