	Utrecht Pneumonia Score		Revised Uniform Pneumonia Score
Diagnostic determinant	Range	Score	Range	Score
Temperature [°C]	≥36.1 and ≤38.4	0	≥36.1 and ≤38.4	0
	≥38.5 and ≤38.9	1	≤36.0 and ≥38.5	1
	≥39.0 and ≤36.0	2
Leukocyte count [×109/L]	≥4.0 and ≤11.0	0	≥4.0 and ≤11.0	0
	<4.0 or >11.0	1	<4.0 or >11.0	1
Pulmonary radiography	No infiltrate	0	No infiltrate	0
	Diffused (or patchy) infiltrate	1	Diffused (or patchy) infiltrate	1
	Well-circumscribed infiltrate	2	Well-circumscribed infiltrate	2

A sum score of 2 points or higher, of which at least 1 point is assigned due to infiltrative findings on pulmonary radiography, indicates treatment of pneumonia
