Appendix 1.

Clinical application of the scoring model for diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). In this scenario, the patient had 2 risk factors: a galactomannan (GM) index of endotracheal tube (ETT) aspirates >1.88, and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) was positive. Therefore, the IPA score was 4 and the IPA probability was 36.8% (high-risk group). Antifungal administration is recommended for the patient.
