CURB-65 is a clinical prediction rule that has been validated for predicting mortality in community-acquired pneumonia[1] and infection of any site[2]. The CURB-65 is based on the earlier CURB score[3] and is recommended by the British Thoracic Society for the assessment of severity of pneumonia.[4]
The score is an acronym for each of the risk factors measured. Each risk factor scores one point, for a maximum score of 5:
- confusion (defined as an AMT of 8 or less)
- urea greater than 7 mmol/l (Blood Urea Nitrogen > 20)
- respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute or greater
- blood pressure less than 90 systolic or diastolic blood pressure 60 or less
- age 65 or older
Predicting death from pneumonia
The risk of death increases as the score increases:
- 0—0.7%
- 1—3.2%
- 2—13.0%
- 3—17.0%
- 4—41.5%
- 5—57.0%
The CURB-65 has been compared to the pneumonia severity index in predicting mortality from pneumonia.[5]
Predicting death from any infection
A cohort study of patients with any type of infection (half of the patients had pneumonia), the risk of death increases as the score increases[2]:
- 0 to 1 <5% mortality
- 2 to 3 < 10% mortality
- 4 to 5 15-30% mortality
