7 hours ago Why Use. The CURB-65 calculator can be used in the emergency department setting to risk stratify a patient’s community acquired pneumonia. The CURB-65 Score includes points for confusion and blood urea nitrogen, which in the acutely ill elderly patient, could be due to a variety of factors. An alternative scoring system, SOAR, circumvents ...

11 hours ago 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.

3 hours ago The CURB-65 score estimates mortality of community-acquired pneumonia to help us determine whether inpatient vs. outpatient management is best for the patient. Each of the 5 parameters in CURB-65 is awarded 1 point for a maximum of 5 total points. ≥ 65 years of age. ** BUN > 19 is almost ≥20 for easy memorization. Interpreting the CURB-65 ...

10 hours ago The CURB-65 score was derived and validated based on 1068 patients from three prospective studies in the UK, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. An earlier, more detailed score known as the Pneumonia Severity Index (also known as the PORT score) has also been prospectively validated. A comparison between the two scoring systems demonstrated a ...

This health calculator provides a useful tool for all clinicians interested to risk stratify patients with community acquired pneumonia based on five clinical determinations and an interpretation comprising of a 30 days mortality risk prediction. The CURB-65 is a model that has been adapted after a research by Lim, a study that took place in the UK, the Netherlands and New Zealand that aimed to validate the previous Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and discover whether there are …

6 hours ago A high BUN level is one of the components of both the CURB-65 score and PSI [5,6]. BUN levels show a decrease in renal perfusion and indirectly predict the severity of pneumonia. The patients who have pneumonia are usually dehydrated that results from increase of BUN excretion from the kidneys.

CURB-65, also known as the CURB criteria, is a clinical prediction rule that has been validated for predicting mortality in community-acquired pneumonia and infection of any site. The CURB-65 is based on the earlier CURB score and is recommended by the British Thoracic Society for the assessment of severity of pneumonia.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia CURB-65, also known as the CURB criteria, is a clinical prediction rule that has been validated for predicting mortality in community-acquired pneumonia and infection of any site.
The pneumonia severity index (PSI) or PORT Score is a clinical prediction rule that medical practitioners can use to calculate the probability of morbidity and mortality among patients with community acquired pneumonia. The PSI/PORT score is often used to predict the need for hospitalization in people with pneumonia.
The pneumonia severity index is often used to help determine whether outpatient management is appropriate, but clinician judgment is the final word. Typically, a patient with unstable vital signs, including hypoxemia, or inability to maintain hydration or oral intake requires inpatient hospitalization.

In summary, the CURB-65 score is a simple tool to aid clinical decision-making in stratifying patients presenting with community-acquired pneumonia into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups in terms of mortality, thereby assisting in management decisions.
