Performance of the CORB (Confusion, Oxygenation, Respiratory Rate, and Blood Pressure) Scale for the Prediction of Clinical Outcomes in Pneumonia
No full text8 páginasBackground Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality due to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment approaches. Objective To assess the performance of the CORB score in subjects with CAP for predicting in-hospital mortality, death within 30 days of admission, and requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and vasopressor support. Methods A retrospective, cohort study with diagnostic test analysis of CORB and CURB-65 scores in subjects with CAP according to ATS criteria was undertaken. An alternative CORB score was estimated by replacing SpO2 ¿90% by the SpO2/FiO2 ratio. Crude and adjusted odd ratios (AOR) were calculated for each variable. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) was constructed for each score, and outcomes were analyzed. AUROCs were compared with the DeLong test, considering a p value <0,05 statistically significant. Results From 1,811 subjects who entered the analysis, 15.1% (273/1,811) died in hospital, 8.78% required IMV (159/1,811), and 9.77% (177/1,811) needed vasopressor support. CORB had an AUROC of 0,660 (95% CI: 0,623¿0,697) for in-hospital mortality; an AUROC of 0,657 (95% CI: 0,621¿0,692) for 30-day mortality; an AUROC of 0,637 (CI 95%: 0,589¿0,685) for IMV requirement; and an AUROC of 0,635 (95% CI: 0,589¿0,681) for vasopressor support. CORB performance increases when the SpO2/FiO2 ratio <300 is used as oxygenation criterion in the prediction of requirement for IMV and vasopressor support, with AUROC of 0,700 (95% CI: 0,654¿0,746; p < 0.001) and AUROC of 0,702 (95% CI: 0,66¿0,745; p < 0.001), respectively. CURB-65 score presents an in-hospital mortality AUROC of 0,727 (95% CI: 0,695¿0,759) and 30-day mortality AUROC of 0,726 (95% CI: 0,695¿0,756). Conclusions CORB score has a good performance in predicting the need for IMV and vasopressor support in CAP patients. This performance improves when the SpO2/FiO2 ratio <300 is used instead of the SpO2 ¿90% as the oxygenation parameter. CURB-65 score is superior in the prediction of mortality

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
Relationship between quantitative real-time PCR cycle threshold and culture for detection of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi.
No full textObjective To compare PCR and culture results for the detection of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi).
Animals Respiratory tract samples (N = 158) from horses being tested for S. equi.
Procedure Bacterial culture was carried out on samples from which S. equi was detected by quantitative real-time PCR.
Results S. equi was isolated from 12 (7.6%) samples: 4/9 (44%) samples when the PCR cycle threshold (CT) was ≤ 30, 7/30 (23%) when the CT was 30.1 to 35, and 1/119 (0.8%) when the CT was 35.1 to 40. The highest CT sample from a sample that yielded a positive culture was 36.9. The optimal Youden’s J value was at a CT of 34.2, the same value as determined by number needed to misdiagnose when the cost of a false negative is deemed to be either 5 or 10 × that of a false positive.
Conclusions Viable S. equi was only detected in a minority of quantitative PCR (qPCR) positive samples. A qPCR CT of 34.2 was a reasonable breakpoint for likelihood of the presence of culturable S. equi.
Clinical relevance Evaluation of CT values may be useful as a proxy to indicate the likelihood of cultivable S. equi being present and could be useful as part of risk assessments.journal article2023 JunimportedEquine Guelp
