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 pneumonia severity index predicts time to clinical stability in patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
SETTING A total of 33 hospitals in 13 countries in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the pneumonia severity index (PSI) and the time to clinical stability from intravenous to oral antibiotic therapy in hospitalized adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). DESIGN An international, retrospective, observation...
متن کاملCURB-65 and other markers of illness severity in community-acquired pneumonia among HIV-positive patients.
As the relative burden of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia among HIV-positive patients increases, adequate prediction of case severity on presentation is crucial. We sought to determine what characteristics measurable on presentation are predictive of worse outcomes. We studied all admissions for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia over one year at a tertiary centre. Patient demographi...
متن کاملAssociation of IL-10 polymorphism with severity of illness in community acquired pneumonia.
BACKGROUND The influence of genetic polymorphisms of interleukin (IL)-10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and IL-6 gene promoters on severity of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) associated with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) was studied. METHODS Using PCR-RFLP analysis we analysed a -1082G/A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the anti-inflammatory IL-10 gene, a -308...
