External validation of the CURSI criteria (confusion, urea, respiratory rate and shock index) in adults hospitalised for community-acquired pneumonia

Abstract: BackgroundFor patients hospitalised due to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), mortality risk is usually estimated with prognostic scores such as CRB-65 or CURB-65. For elderly patients, a new score referred to as CURSI has been proposed which uses shock index (SI) instead of the blood pressure (B) and age (65) criteria. The new score has not been externally validated to date.MethodsWe used data from a hospital-based CAP registry to compare the ability of CURSI, CURB-65 and CRB-65 to predict mortality at day 3… Show more

“…We conducted a retrospective study at the Marienhospital Herne, Herne, Germany. Some study details and results on short-term mortality have already been published [ 26 ]. Data of all adult inpatients ≥ 18 years hospitalised between 2005 and 2009 with CAP were extracted from the hospital’s CAP database.…”
