Abstract

One of the leading causes of patient mortality, despite modern treatment options, is sepsis brought on by pneumonia or pneumonia itself. In pneumonia, the best predictive technique is still up for debate. This study aimed to compare severity ratings for pneumonia and examine the viability of using new scores for evaluating patients who presented to the ER with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Methods:Patients diagnosed with pneumonia in the emergency room had their demographic information, laboratory and imaging results, agitation, elevated blood urea nitrogen, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, pneumonia severity file (PSI), public early admonition score (NEWS), NEWS-lactate (NEWS-L) scores, hospitalization, referral, release, and 30-day mortality recorded.” Results:There were a total of 100 patients in the research. NEWS-L was shown to be the best accurate score for predicting mortality. Then came NEWS, CURB-65, and PSI in that order. The NEWS-L and NEWS scores were the most reliable in predicting ICU admission. After that, we saw the CURB-65 and PSI scores. The NEWS-L score proved more accurate than its predecessors, the NEWS, the CURB-65, and the PSI, when it came to forecasting the likelihood of hospitalization. There were statistically significant differences in every measure of pneumonia severity between those who died and those who made it to day 30. The service and quality of life ratings of ICU patients were much higher than those of non-ICU patients. Conclusions:Death, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and other adverse outcomes were best predicted by the NEWS-L score.and hospitalization need. Patients with pneumonia in the ED may be stratified according to their mortality, hospitalization, and critical care needs using either the NEWS-L or NEWS score.
