Objective To compare the value of CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score in evaluating prognosis of pneumonia in non-HIV infected patient and HIV infected patient.Methods The study included 206 hospitalized pneumonia patients without HIV infection and 299 pneumonia patients with HIV infection. According to their clinical prognosis within 4 weeks of treatment, they were divided into a deterioration group and an improvement group. The basic situation and the differences of clinical indicators between the two groups were compared. The predictive value of CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score for clinical prognosis of pneumonia in non-HIV infected patients and HIV infected patients was compared by using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.Results For the pneumonia patients without HIV infection, the area under ROC curve (AUC) of CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score were 0.862 and 0.848, respectively. There was no significant difference in AUC between CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score (Z=0.661, P=0.5084). The Youden indexes of CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score were 60.11% and 54.92%, respectively. For the pneumonia patients with HIV infection, the AUC of CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score were 0.588 and 0.634, respectively. There was no significant difference between them (Z=1.416, P=0.1567). The Youden index of the two scores was 19.53% and 20.52%, respectively.Conclusions The CURB-65 score and expanded CURB-65 score can effectively evaluate the clinical prognosis of pneumonia in non-HIV infected patients, but their predicted values are limited in evaluating the prognosis of pneumonia in HIV infected patients.
