The CURB-65 calculator is a clinical decision support tool designed to evaluate the severity of Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). By analyzing five key clinical indicators--Confusion, Urea/BUN, Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure, and Age--it computes a total score that helps healthcare professionals determine the appropriate care setting. Use calculate_curb65_score to compute the score from vital signs, get_clinical_recommendation to interpret mortality risk and treatment settings, and get_clinical_reference_guide for parameter definitions.
