Conditional information

How this model should be used:
The CURB-65/AMBU-65 model is a one step strategy for stratifying patients with CAP into risk groups according to risk of mortality at 30 days.1

  • Patients with CURB-65 scores 0 and 1 are at low risk of mortality (<2%) and might be suitable for management as hospital outpatients or by their general practitioner.
  • Patients with a score of 2 are at intermediate risk of mortality (9%) and should be considered for hospital supervised treatment.
  • Patients with  a score >2 are at high risk of mortality (>19%) and should be treated in hospital. Initial care in an intensive care or high dependency unit may be appropriate in those with the highest scores.
Note:
Although low serum albumin was identified as a strong independent prognostic variable in addition to the CURB score for predicting 30 day mortality, it was not included in the final model as it is not a routinely available test in many hospitals. If serum albumin level is at your disposal, you might consider using a more extended model including serum albumin.
