Comparison of available severity scores to predict long-term outcomes in patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the ICU. Sensitivity and specificity of SAPS-II, Pneumonia SHOCK, and CURB-65 to predict ICU mortality (A), hospital mortality (B), and 1-year mortality (C) in patients admitted to the ICU due to severe pneumonia. D, Comparison of the AUROC of LODS, OASIS, qSOFA, SAPS, SAPS-II, SOFA, Pneumonia SHOCK, CURB-65, and CRB-65 to predict 1-year mortality, 30-day mortality, hospital mortality, and ICU mortality in patients with severe pneumonia. Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; AUROC, area under the receiver operating characteristic; ICU, intensive care unit; LODS, Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score; OASIS, Oxford Acute Severity of Illness Score; qSOFA, quick-Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment; SAPS, Simplified Acute Physiology Score; SAPS-II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II.
