Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the third most common cause of death globally. Due to the complexity of CAP, it is widely accepted that, currently, clinical prognosis and diagnosis is inadequate for the assessment of the severity of the disease. With the aim to determining the initial treatment and the appropriate level of intervention, several clinical scores of severity and biomarkers have been developed. Both biomarkers and clinical scoring systems are expected to determine the different aspects of the host factor and the response to therapy, in order for physicians to be able to make an accurate benefit/risk assessment that will lead to proper diagnosis and correct prescription of antibiotics. This review aims to highlight the prognostic and diagnostic accuracy of various laboratory and clinical parameters in CAP and discuss the perspectives for the reduction of CAP mortality.
社区获得性肺炎(CAP)是全球第三大常见死因。由于CAP的复杂性,目前临床预后和诊断对于评估疾病严重程度并不充分,这一点已得到广泛认可。为了确定初始治疗方案和适当的干预水平,已开发了多种严重程度临床评分和生物标志物。生物标志物和临床评分系统都有望确定宿主因素的不同方面以及对治疗的反应,以便医生能够进行准确的获益/风险评估,从而实现正确诊断和合理使用抗生素。本综述旨在强调各种实验室和临床参数在CAP中的预后和诊断准确性,并讨论降低CAP死亡率的前景。
