Performance of the CORB (Confusion, Oxygenation, Respiratory Rate, and Blood Pressure) Scale for the Prediction of Clinical Outcomes in Pneumonia

Figure 1

Flowchart of study subjects’ entry. FiO2: fraction of inspired oxygen. CORB: confusion (new onset or deterioration of preexisting condition), oxygen saturation ≤90%, respiratory rate ≥30/min, and systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≤60 mmHg. BUN: blood urea nitrogen. IVM: invasive mechanical ventilation requirement. ICU: intensive care unit.
