CURB-65 for community-acquired pneumonia severity using severity index.Bioinformation 2026; 22(2):789-793.B
Abstract
Critical pulmonary embolism (CAP) demands precise risk stratification tools for optimal resource allocation and treatment site decisions. Therefore, it is of interest to compare CURB-65 versus Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) in 320 CAP patients for predicting 30-day mortality and ICU needs. PSI demonstrated superior sensitivity (92.5% vs 78.0%) and mortality AUC (0.84 vs 0.79). CURB-65 offered high specificity but lower emergency applicability (65.4% vs 88.2%). PSI advances CAP management as the preferred outpatient-identification tool, while CURB-65 suits high-risk triage in busy settings.
