Whites were older than blacks (mean age 68 years vs 53 years, P < 0.0001), had a higher burden of chronic disease (69.2% vs 63.1% Charlson score > 0, P = 0.02), and had higher severity of illness (mean APACHE III score 53.9 vs 47.4, P < 0.001; mean Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) 97.7 vs 78.6, P < 0.0001).
Patients admitted had mean age of 62 ± 1.2 years, PORT classes IV-V and mean Pneumonia Severity Index score of 108.5 ± 3.8.
The mean pneumonia severity index score in the study population was 108.8 (±24.1 standard deviation [SD]) and the mean age was 67.2 years (±14.5 SD).
Controlling for age and gender, the mean CIRS Severity Index score for street health (M=1.4, SD=0.91) was significantly higher than for mainstream patients (M=1.1, SD=0.80), p<0.001.
The mean Global Severity Index score for the transplantation recipients with clinically significant overall mental distress was 70.6 (SD=7.3; Median: 70.0) and for those without clinically significant overall mental distress 46.3 (SD=7.4; Median: 47.5) [Mann–Whitney-U=0.000; Whitney-U=0.000 Whitney-U=0.000
In studies on people with hand eczema referred to hospital units the mean hand eczema severity index scores are reported to be in the range 17 to 20. 28 31 The lower score observed in the present trial was expected as the participants were recruited from their work place and not from a dermatological clinic, and indicates that the hand eczema was mild to moderate in severity.
The mean Psoriasis Area and Severity Index was 26.0, average body mass index was 27.5 and mean age of first manifestation was 33.5 years.
In a survey among dermatologists in Germany, psoriasis patients presented with a mean psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) of 12 (moderate to severe disease) while under continuous care [ 1].
Mean PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) at inclusion was 14.7, mean DLQI Dermatology Lifee Quality Index) 11.1, mean BMI (Body Mass Index) 28.2.
