This cross-sectional study included 41 children (age 2 mo-12 y) with pneumonia and 40 healthy controls. Assay of serum copeptin was done using ELISA. Median serum copeptin levels were significantly higher (P=0.03) in children with pneumonia, and in those who died (P=0.04). We conclude that serum copeptin levels seem to be associated with poor outcome in pneumonia.
这项横断面研究纳入了41名患有肺炎的儿童（年龄2个月至12岁）和40名健康对照者。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测血清 copeptin。肺炎患儿以及死亡患儿的血清copeptin水平中位数显著更高（P = 0.03和P = 0.04）。我们得出结论，血清copeptin水平似乎与肺炎的不良预后相关。
