Predicting CAP-related mortality with CRB-65.
Predicting CAP-related mortality with CRB-65 Ewig et al are to be commended for their very large study of 388 406 patients admitted with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in German hospitals from 2005 to 2006. Using the CRB-65 tool (confusion, respiratory rate $30 min, low blood pressure (either systolic <90 mm Hg or diastolic #60 mm Hg) and age $65 years), the authors found 30-day mortality r...
متن کاملSeverity Assessment of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection in Malawi: Derivation of a Novel Index (SWAT-Bp) Which Outperforms CRB-65
OBJECTIVE To assess the validity of CRB-65 (Confusion, Respiratory rate >30 breaths/min, BP<90/60 mmHg, age >65 years) as a pneumonia severity index in a Malawian hospital population, and determine whether an alternative score has greater accuracy in this setting. DESIGN Forty three variables were prospectively recorded during the first 48 hours of admission in all patients admitted to Queen ...
متن کاملImprovement of CRB-65 as a prognostic tool in adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia
BACKGROUND Patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) often require hospitalisation. CRB-65 is a simple and useful scoring system to predict mortality. However, prognostic factors such as underlying disease and blood oxygenation are not included despite their potential to increase the performance of CRB-65. METHODS The study included 1172 consecutive patients (830 inpatients, 342 outpat...
متن کاملCRB-65 for the assessment of pneumonia severity: who could ask for more?
According to a widespread consensus reflected in all authoritative guidelines, assessment of severity is the key step in the management of patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP). It is a major criterion in the decision where to treat a patient and it widely determines the amount of diagnostic workup as well as the selection of initial empiric antimicrobial treatment. Overall, it has m...
متن کاملPredicting death in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia: a prospective validation study reevaluating the CRB-65 severity assessment tool.
S everity scores are helpful in predicting mortality in patients presenting with communityacquired pneumonia (CAP). They enable physicians to decide their management strategies and site of care according to the expected mortality risk. In Europe, most cases of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) and CAP are managed in primary care settings by general practitioners (GPs). However, most se...
