- Pneumonia leads to significant hospitalization and death, necessitating early assessment of its severity for better clinical decisions.
- This systematic review evaluates the CURB-65 and qSOFA scoring systems in predicting pneumonia outcomes, analyzing data from 22 studies with over 25,000 patients.
