Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application value of procalcitonin(PCT),neutrophil-to-lym-phocyte ratio(NLR)and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio(CAR)in the short-term prognosis of the pa-tients with severe community acquired pneumonia(SCAP).Methods A total of 225 patients with communi-ty-acquired pneumonia(CAP)treated in this hospital from July 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the SCAP group and non-SCAP group.Then the patients with SCAP were di-vided into the survival group and death group according to their survival state in 28 d.The general data and re-lated laboratory indexes were collected.NLR and CAR were calculated.The binary logistic regression was a-dopted to analyze the risk factors of death on 28 d for the SCAP patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the predictive value of relevant indicators.Results The age,levels of PCT,NLR,CAR,WBC and NEU,and the proportion of cor-onary heart disease in the SCAP group were higher than those in the non-SCAP group,while the levels of LYM and ALB were lower than those in the non-SCAP group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The age,levels of PCT,NLR,CAR,WBC and NEU,and the proportion of COPD in the death group were higher than those in the survival group,while the levels of LYM and ALB were lower than those in the survival group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The binary logistic regres-sion analysis showed that the age(OR=1.069,95％CI:1.020-1.120),chronic obstructive pulmonary dis-ease(OR=5.633,95％CI:2.019-15.712),PCT(OR=1.045,95％CI:1.002-1.090)and CAR(OR=2.170,95％CI:1.616-2.915)were the independent influencing factor for the death on 28 d in the patients with SCAP.The ROC curve analysis indicated that AUC,sensitivity and specificity of PCT,NLR and CAR combined detection were superior to those of detection alone,having good predictive value.Conclusion PCT,NLR and CAR have a certain predictive value for death within 28 d in the patients with SCAP.The combined detection has better predictive efficiency.
