Abstract
Background The microbial signatures in diabetes with pneumonia and the risk factors of severe pneumonia (SP) in diabetic patients are not clear. Our study explored microbial signatures and the association between clinical characteristics and SP then constructed a risk model to find effective biomarkers for predicting pneumonia severity. Methods Our study was conducted among 273 patients with pneumonia diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2018 to May 2021. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples and clinical data were collected. Metagenomic sequencing was applied after extracting the DNA from samples. Appropriate statistical methods were used to compare the microbial signatures and clinical characteristics in patients with or without diabetes mellitus (DM). Results In total, sixty-one pneumonia patients with diabetes and 212 pneumonia patients without diabetes were included. Sixty-six differential microorganisms were found to be associated with SP in diabetic patients. Some microbes correlated with clinical indicators of SP. The prediction model for SP was established and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated its accuracy, with the sensitivity and specificity of 0.82 and 0.91, respectively. Conclusions Some microorganisms affect the severity of pneumonia. We identified the microbial signatures in the lower airways and the association between clinical characteristics and SP. The predictive model was more accurate in predicting SP by combining microbiological indicators and clinical characteristics, which might be beneficial to the early identification and management of patients with SP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe community-acquired pneumonia is one of the most lethal forms of CAP with high mortality. For rapid and accurate decisions, we developed a mortality prediction model specifically tailored for elderly SCAP patients. METHODS The retrospective study included 2365 elderly patients. To construct and validate the nomogram, we randomly divided the patients into training and testing cohorts in a 70% versus 30% ratio. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used in the training cohort to identify independent risk factors. The robustness of this model was assessed using the C index, ROC and AUC. DCA was employed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the model. RESULTS Six factors were used as independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality to construct the prediction model, including age, the use of vasopressor, chronic renal disease, neutrophil, platelet, and BUN. The C index was 0.743 (95% CI 0.719-0.768) in the training cohort and 0.731 (95% CI 0.694-0.768) in the testing cohort. The ROC curves and AUC for the training cohort and testing cohort (AUC = 0.742 vs. 0.728) indicated a robust discrimination. And the calibration plots showed a consistency between the prediction model probabilities and observed probabilities. Then, the DCA demonstrated great clinical practicality. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram incorporated six risk factors, including age, the use of vasopressor, chronic renal disease, neutrophil, platelet and BUN, which had great predictive accuracy and robustness, while also demonstrating clinical practicality at ICU admission.

[PMID: 36300178 PMCID: PMC9588947 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.976148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The incidence and mortality rate of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in elderly patients were higher than the younger population. The assessment tools including CURB-65 and qSOFA have been applied in early detection of high-risk patients with CAP. However, several disadvantages exist to limit the efficiency of these tools for accurate assessment in elderly CAP. Therefore, we aimed to explore a more comprehensive tool to predict mortality in elderly CAP population by establishing a nomogram model. Methods We retrospectively analyzed elderly patients with CAP in Minhang Hospital, Fudan University. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression combined with multivariate analyses were used to select independent predictive factors and established nomogram models via R software. Calibration plots, decision curve analysis (DCA) and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were generated to assess predictive performance. Results LASSO and multiple logistic regression analyses showed the age, pulse, NLR, albumin, BUN, and D-dimer were independent risk predictors. A nomogram model (NB-DAPA model) was established for predicting mortality of CAP in elderly patients. In both training and validation set, the area under the curve (AUC) of the NB-DAPA model showed superiority than CURB-65 and qSOFA. Meanwhile, DCA revealed that the predictive model had significant net benefits for most threshold probabilities. Conclusion Our established NB-DAPA nomogram model is a simple and accurate tool for predicting in-hospital mortality of CAP, adapted for patients aged 65 years and above. The predictive performance of the NB-DAPA model was better than PSI, CURB-65 and qSOFA.

Clin Interv Aging 2022; 17:1379-1391. [PMID: 36164658 PMCID: PMC9509012 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s382347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The study explores a clinical model based on aging-care parameters to predict the mortality of hospitalized patients aged 80-year and above with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Patients and methods In this study, four hundred and thirty-five CAP patients aged 80-years and above were enrolled in the Central Hospital of Minhang District, Shanghai during 01,01,2018–31,12,2021. The clinical data were collected, including aging-care relevant factors (ALB, FRAIL, Barthel Index and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index) and other commonly used factors. The prognostic factors were screened by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to predict the mortality risk. Results Univariate analysis demonstrated that several factors, including gender, platelet distribution width, NLR, ALB, CRP, pct, pre-albumin, CURB-65, low-density, lipoprotein, Barthel Index, FRAIL, leucocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and aCCI, were associated with the prognosis of CAP. Multivariate model analyses further identified that CURB-65 (p < 0.0001, OR = 5.44, 95% CI = 3.021–10.700), FRAIL (p < 0.0001, OR = 5.441, 95% CI = 2.611–12.25) and aCCI (p = 0.003, OR = 1.551, 95% CI = 1.165–2.099) were independent risk factors, whereas ALB (p = 0.005, OR = 0.871, 95% CI = 0.788–0.957) and Barthel Index (p = 0.0007, OR = 0.958, 95% CI = 0.933–0.981) were independent protective factors. ROC curves were plotted to further predict the in-hospital mortality and revealed that combination of three parameters (Barthel Index+ FRAI +CURB-65) showed the best performance. Conclusion This study showed that CURB-65, frailty and aCCI were independent risk factors influencing prognosis. In addition, ALB and Barthel Index were protective factors for in CAP patients over 80-years old. AUC was calculated and revealed that combination of three parameters (Barthel Index+ FRAI +CURB-65) showed the best performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The predictive performances of CURB-65 and pneumonia severity index (PSI) were poor in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to develop a tool for predicting the short-term and long-term outcomes of CAP in patients with diabetes. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 531 CAP patients with type 2 diabetes. The short-term outcome was in-hospital mortality. The long-term outcome was 24-month all-cause death. The APUA score was calculated according to the levels of Age (0-2 points), Pulse (0-2 points), Urea (0-2 points), and Albumin (0-4 points). The area under curves (AUCs) were used to evaluate the abilities of the APUA score for predicting short-term outcomes. Cox regression models were used for modeling relationships between the APUA score and 24-month mortality. RESULTS The AUC of the APUA score for predicting in-hospital mortality was 0.807 in patients with type 2 diabetes (P<0.001). The AUC of the APUA score was higher than the AUCs of CURB-65 and PSI class (P<0.05). The long-term mortality increased with the risk stratification of the APUA score (low-risk group (0-1 points) 11.5%, intermediate risk group (2-4 points) 16.9%, high risk group (≥5 points) 28.8%, P<0.05). Compared with patients in the low-risk group, patients in the high-risk group had significantly increased risk of long-term death, HR (95%CI) was 2.093 (1.041~4.208, P=0.038). CONCLUSION The APUA score is a simple and accurate tool for predicting short-term and long-term outcomes of CAP patients with diabetes.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with mortality in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Crit Care 2021; 25:419. [PMID: 34876193 PMCID: PMC8650350 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-021-03841-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study was performed to investigate the impacts of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) and to develop a novel prediction model for mortality in SCAP patients with T2DM. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study conducted in consecutive adult patients with SCAP admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, China, between September 2011 and September 2019. The primary outcome was hospital mortality. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis model with a 1:2 ratio was used for the comparisons of clinical characteristics and outcomes between T2DM and nondiabetic patients. The independent risk factors were identified via univariate and then multivariable logistic regression analysis and were then used to establish a nomogram. RESULTS In total, 1262 SCAP patients with T2DM and 2524 matched patients without T2DM were included after PSM. Patients with T2DM had longer ICU length of stay (LOS) (13 vs. 12 days, P = 0.016) and higher 14-day mortality (15% vs. 10.8%, P < 0.001), 30-day mortality (25.7% vs. 22.7%, P = 0.046), ICU mortality (30.8% vs. 26.5%, P = 0.005), and hospital mortality (35.2% vs. 31.0%, P = 0.009) than those without T2DM. In SCAP patients with T2DM, the independent risk factors for hospital mortality were increased numbers of comorbidities and diabetes-related complications; elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and blood lactate; as well as decreased blood pressure on admission. The nomogram had a C index of 0.907 (95% CI: 0.888, 0.927) in the training set and 0.873 (95% CI: 0.836, 0.911) in the testing set, which was superior to the pneumonia severity index (PSI, AUC: 0.809, 95% CI: 0.785, 0.833). The calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) also demonstrated its accuracy and applicability. CONCLUSIONS SCAP patients with T2DM had worse clinical outcomes than nondiabetic patients. The nomogram has good predictive performance for hospital mortality and might be generally applied after more external validations.
