Severity assessment in community-acquired pneumonia.
In current guidelines for the management of adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), the triaging decision about hospitalization or intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and, as a consequence, selection of initial antimicrobial treatment is largely based on the assessment of pneumonia severity. The proposed severity criteria are mainly derived from studies determining predictors of advers...
متن کاملImportance of severity assessment: community-acquired pneumonia.
Pneumonia Severity Index and CURB 65 are the two most important prognostic scoring tools to predict mortality for patients with CAP. These tools accurately predict mortality but do not directly measure disease severity. The clinical assessment is still required to decide hospital admission or ICU care. Prognostic scoring systems have been used to assist in the site-of-care decisions, with limit...
متن کاملThe influence of COPD on mortality and severity scoring in community-acquired pneumonia.
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a frequent co-morbidity in patients hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In recent retrospective studies, higher mortality in patients with CAP and COPD was found. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to determine the 30-day mortality and to evaluate the differences in CAP severity scoring in hospitalised patients with COPD...
متن کامل[Evaluating severity of community-acquired pneumonia in adults].
Clinical evolution in patients affected by community acquired pneumonia varies from a mild and low risk infectious disease to an extremely severe, life threatening disease. Commonly, immunocompetent adults without co-morbidities or severe risk factors cared for at out patient clinic have low risk of complications and death (mortality below 1-2%); it increases to 5-15% in patients with co-morbid...
متن کاملSeverity assessment in community-acquired pneumonia: a review.
Severity assessment is an important early step in the management of patients presenting with community-acquired pneumonia. Various pneumonia-specific scores, generic sepsis scores and predictive biomarkers have been proposed as tools to aid clinicians in key management decisions. However, there is no uniform agreement about the optimum severity assessment tool to use. This review provides a sum...
