Prospective comparison of three predictive rules for assessing severity of community-acquired pneumonia in Hong Kong.
BACKGROUND Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading infectious cause of death throughout the world, including Hong Kong. AIM To compare the ability of three validated prediction rules for CAP to predict mortality in Hong Kong: the 20 variable Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI), the 6-point CURB65 scale adopted by the British Thoracic Society and the simpler CRB65. METHODS A prospective o...
متن کاملSeverity prediction rules in community acquired pneumonia: a validation study.
BACKGROUND The British Thoracic Society (BTS) developed a rule (BTSr) based on severity criteria to predict short term mortality in adults admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, neither the BTSr nor a recent modification of it (mBTSr) have been validated in the UK. A case-control study was conducted in a typical UK population to determine the clinical factors pre...
متن کاملA prospective comparison of nursing home acquired pneumonia with community acquired pneumonia.
Nursing home acquired pneumonia (NHAP) is thought to be clinically distinct from community acquired pneumonia (CAP). This observation, based on studies conducted mainly in North America, may not be relevant in countries with a different healthcare system. The authors describe an 18-month prospective cohort study of 437 patients admitted to hospital with CAP, 40 (9%) of whom came from nursing ho...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of nursing home-acquired pneumonia, although Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative organisms may be more common in severe cases. Antibiotic therapy for nursing home-acquired pneumonia should target a ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of severity indicators of nursing-home-acquired pneumonia versus community-acquired pneumonia in elderly patients
BACKGROUND The credibility of prognostic indicators in nursing-home-acquired pneumonia (NHAP) is not clear. We previously reported a simple prognostic indicator in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP): blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin (B/A) ratio. This retrospective study investigated the prognostic value of severity indicators in NHAP versus CAP in elderly patients. METHODS Patients aged ≥...
