Association of Systemic Inflammatory Markers with 28-Day Mortality in Patients with Severe Pneumonia: A Retrospective Study from a Single Center
To evaluate the association of systemic inflammatory indices with 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with severe pneumonia, highlighting the significance of these indices in clinical practice.
Key Findings:
Higher SIRI, NLR, and IBI were observed in patients who died within 28 days.
SIRI and NLR remained independently associated with 28-day mortality after adjustment for confounders (SIRI: OR 2.16, 95% CI; NLR: OR 2.12, 95% CI).
Each 1-standard deviation increase in SIRI and NLR was associated with higher odds of 28-day death.
SII and IBI associations were attenuated after adjustment; PLR was not independently associated with mortality.
Interpretation:
SIRI and NLR may provide additional prognostic information for 28-day mortality in severe pneumonia patients beyond conventional severity markers, suggesting a need for integration into clinical practice.
Limitations:
Single-center study may limit generalizability; potential biases and confounding factors should be acknowledged.
Exploratory findings require external validation to confirm results.
Conclusion:
SIRI and NLR are promising indices for predicting 28-day mortality in severe pneumonia, warranting further investigation and external validation.
