Evaluating the CURB-65 score for in-hospital mortality prediction in COVID-19 patients: insights into dysglycaemia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

While the CURB-65 score predicts mortality in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), its performance in COVID-19 CAP is suboptimal. Hyperglycaemia correlates with an increased mortality in COVID-19. This analysis aims to enhance predictive accuracy for in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients by augmenting the CURB-65 score with objective variables, including markers of dysglycaemia.

Design

A single-centre retrospective observational analysis assessed the effectiveness of the CURB-65 score in predicting in-hospital mortality among adult patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 from March to September 2020. Using a binary logistic regression model, two extended CURB-65 scores which include markers of dysglycemia are proposed to enhance the predictive capabilit
