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.
