Description
Objective
To identify tools that predict the risk of complications for patients presenting to an outpatient clinic or an emergency department (ED) with influenza-like illness.
Methods
We searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and CINAHL from inception to July 2023. We included articles reporting on the derivation or validation of a score or algorithm used to stratify the risk of hospitalization or mortality among patients with influenza-like illness in the ED or outpatient clinic.
Results
Twelve articles reporting on eight scores and six predictive models were identified. For predicting the need for hospitalization, the area under the curve (AUC) of the PMEWS and the CURB-65 ranged respectively from 0.76 to 0.94, and 0.65 to 0.88. The Community Assessment Tool had an AUC of 0.62. For predicting inpatient mortality, AUC was 0.66 for PMEWS and 0.79 for CURB-65, 0.79 for the SIRS criteria and 0.86 for the qSOFA …
