Biomarkers improve mortality prediction by prognostic scales in community-acquired pneumonia.
BACKGROUND Prognostic scales provide a useful tool to predict mortality in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, the inflammatory response of the host, crucial in resolution and outcome, is not included in the prognostic scales. METHODS The aim of this study was to investigate whether information about the initial inflammatory cytokine profile and markers increases the accuracy of prog...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 and procalcitonin as biomarkers in mortality prediction of hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia
INTRODUCTION Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) may present as life-threatening infection with uncertain progression and outcome of treatment. Primary aim of the trial was determination of the cut-off value of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin (PCT) above which, 30-day mortality in hospitalized patients with CAP, could be predicted with high sensitivity and specificity. We investigat...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and Red Cell Distribution Width for Prediction of Mortality in Preschool Children with Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
Background Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major infectious cause of mortality in preschool children especially in developing countries. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) has been associated with poor outcomes of CAP. We aimed to determine whether admission stress hyperglycemia and RDW can predict mortality in preschool children with CAP for early identification of patients at risk of ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Community acquired pneumonia in elderly has specific clinical aspect and higher mortality in relation to younger patients. According to specific pneumonia severity assessment on admission and its importance in proper prediction of clinical course and outcome, the aim of this study was defining prognostic factors of mortality. METHODS This study included 240 patients aged > or =...
متن کاملAddition of vitamin D status to prognostic scores improves the prediction of outcome in community-acquired pneumonia.
BACKGROUND Vitamin D plays a role in host defense against infection. Vitamin D deficiency is common worldwide. The prognostic value of vitamin D levels in pneumonia is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of vitamin D status on outcome in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study in 272 hospitalized patients with CAP. Levels of 2...
