Abstract：Objective To explore the value of SMART-COP score in diagnosis of severe communityacquired pneumonia patients (SCAP).Methods Totally 180 patients of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP),including 90 cases of SCAP and 90 cases of common CAP,were retrospectively analyzed.The SMART-COP score was assessed.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of SMART-COP score in diagnosing SCAP was drawn by taking the standard of American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America statement as gold standard,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,negative likelihood ratio,diagnostic odds ratio and Youden index were obtained.Results Taking 4 scores as cut-off value,the value of SMART-COP in diagnosing SCAP was high,with sensitivity of 78.9％,specificity of 80.0％,positive likelihood ratio of 3.944,negative likelihood ratio of 0.264 and Youden index of 0.589.Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of SMART-COP score in diagnosing SCAP is high with cut-off value of 4.
