RATIONALE There are various pneumonia severity scores for common acquired pneumonia (CAP) and Nursing and healthcare associated pneumonia (NHCAP) such as Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI), CURB65, and A-DROP. Recently, quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) was developed to identify high-risk patients for in-hospital mortality with suspected infection outside the ICU, and the National Early Warning Score-Lactate (NEWS-L) score was also proposed as a pneumonia severity score. The aim of our study was to compare those scores. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed in CAP and NHCAP patients admitted to our hospital through the emergency department between April 2016 and March 2017. We compared the in-hospital prognostic value of each scores using ROC analysis. RESULTS 247 patients were included (mean age, 77.4; males/female, 141/106) and the in-hospital morality was 11.3 % (28/247). There was no statistically significant difference among the AUCs of each score [PSI: 0.652, CURB65: 0.714, A-DROP: 0.708, qSOFA: 0.6, NEWS-L: 0.711]. CONCLUSION We could not find a significant difference in the in-hospital prognostic value between PSI, CURB65, A-DROP, qSOFA, and NEWS-L.
