Management and documentation of pneumonia - a comparison of patients consulting primary care and emergency care

CONCLUSIONS: Vital signs were documented less often in primary care than in emergency care. Patients in primary care appear to have a less severe pneumonia, indicating attendance to the correct care level. The traffic light scoring model identified more patients at risk of severe infection than CRB-65, where the parameters were documented to a limited extent.PMID:38459974 | DOI:10.1080/02813432.2024.2326469
