Predicting the need for intensive respiratory or vasopressor support in community-acquired pneumonia (SMART-COP score) in a clinical setting
SMART-COP is a simple, practical clinical tool for accurately predicting the need for intensive respiratory or vasopressor support (IRVS) that is likely to assist clinicians in determining community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) severity in a clinical setting.

Conditional information

How this model should be used: 
SMART-COP is a new, relatively simple, eight-variable tool that appears to identify accurately patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) who will require intensive respiratory or vasopressor support (IRVS).1 The SMART-COP was developed as a useful advance for clinicians in the accurate prediction of disease severity among patients with CAP.

Model performance:
Several external validations of the SMART-COP have been performed so far. Overall, AUC analysis indicated good discrimination for SMART-COP scores. There was no evidence of lack of fit, indicating that the prediction probability of SMART-COP for IRVS appeared adequate. For a complete overview of available external validations, the user is referred to the validation section on Evidencio.
