Three new RCC survival prediction models incorporated age \u226565, hypotension, BUN &amp;gt;19 mg\/dl, ventilator type (replacing respiratory rate), and GCS \u2264 8 (replacing confusion), and either white blood cells (WBCs) or hemoglobin (Hb) were additionally included in model 1 or model 2. In CAP test samples, AUROCs with CAP test sample were 77.51% (model 1), 75.99% (model 2), and 77.97% (model 3). All three new models showed higher AUROCs than CURB-65, with significantly improved predictability in models 1 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.0354) and 3 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.0383).
