Pitt bactermia score
Hello,
Id like to suggest inclusion of Pitt Bacteremia Score (PBS, Pitt score) as one of scoring method in infectious diseases (ID) category.
It is widely use in ID research/assesment as severity of acute illness index as an indicator of critical illness and risk of death.
Originally developed to predict mortality in patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection (BSI), and has since been shown to be predictive in other type of BSI (gram positive, gram negatives, candida spp).
Please consider to add this score into your app. Thank you.
