Comparison of CURB-65 and qSOFA scores in predicting outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia

Both CURB-65 and qSOFA effectively predict ICU admission, mortality, and hospital stay duration in CAP patients. While qSOFA is more sensitive for ICU admission, CURB-65 provides better mortality and length-of-stay predictions, underscoring their complementary roles in clinical decision-making.

Abstract

Both CURB-65 and qSOFA effectively predict ICU admission, mortality, and hospital stay duration in CAP patients. While qSOFA is more sensitive for ICU admission, CURB-65 provides better mortality and length-of-stay predictions, underscoring their complementary roles in clinical decision-making.
