Clinical-pulmonary infection score (CPIS) is used for:
A
Ventilator-associated pneumonia
B
Upper respiratory tract infections
C
Community-associated pneumonia
D
Tuberculosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Assists in diagnosing ventilator-associated pneumonia by predicting benefit of pulmonary cultures.

Detailed explanation-2: -A score of 6 or more suggests VAP. In our study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Scoring System (CPIS) as a screening tool for the early diagnosis of VAP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) was developed to serve as a surrogate tool to facilitate the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The CPIS is calculated on the basis of points assigned for various signs and symptoms of pneumonia (eg, fever and extent of oxygenation impairment).

Detailed explanation-4: -CPIS is an accepted tool for clinical estimation of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), encompassing five components: temperature, blood leukocytes, tracheal secretions, oxygenation index and chest roentgenogram. VAP is considered a frequent complication in mechanically ventilated severe polytrauma patients.

Detailed explanation-5: -Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) The CPIS is used in the diagnosis of ventilator associated pneumonia.
