FACED Score (bronchiectasis)
FACED score (Martinez-Garcia 2014): a five-variable bronchiectasis severity score (0-7) predicting 5-year mortality.

Example
- FEV1
- 45
- Age
- 72
- Pseudomonas colonization
- Yes
Result: FACED 5/7: severe (derivation-cohort 5-year mortality 68.8%).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Bands
- mild 0-2, moderate 3-4, severe 5-7, with derivation-cohort 5-year mortality 4.3% / 25.3% / 68.8%.
What you enter
- FEV1 (% predicted)
- Age (years)
- Pseudomonas colonization
- More than 2 lobes involved
- MRC dyspnea grade 3-5
How this is calculated
- Components
- FEV1 < 50% (2), Age >= 70 (2), chronic Pseudomonas Colonization (1), Extension >= 3 lobes (1), and Dyspnea mMRC >= 3 (1), summed 0-7.
