Abstract

The EQUAL Mucormycosis Score quantitates adherence to current guideline recommendations for mucormycosis management. With 62.7% of maximum achievable score points, a first result is obtained that may serve as a reference for future evaluations. It remains to be shown whether guideline adherence and mortality rates correlate.
