Association between delay in intensive care unit admission and the host response in patients with community-acquired pneumonia

Abstract: Background A delay in admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has been associated with an increased mortality. Decisions regarding interventions and eligibility for immune modulatory therapy are often made at the time of admission to the ICU. The primary aim of this study was to compare the host immune response measured upon ICU admission in CAP patients admitted immediately from the emergency department (direct ICU admission) with those wh… Show more

“…Early determination of the disease severity of AP in the more fragile population aged 65 and over also enables the need for intensive care to be evaluated. Belated admission of critically ill patients to intensive care is known to increase mortality 28,29 . Many scoring systems such as RANSON 20 , APACHE II 30 , CTSI 19 , BISAP 21 , Glasgow (Imrie's) 31 , and Harmless Acute Pancreatitis Score 32 19,33 .…”

“…Delayed ICU admission in patients with CAP has been shown to increase mortality, especially in elderly patients, patients with multiple comorbidities, and immunocompromised patients [1,46,47]. Timely appropriate antibiotic therapy and delay in ICU admission are two important factors that contribute to the better or worse outcome in CAP patients [48][49][50].…”

“…Severe pneumonia is a subset of pneumonia that is associated with higher mortality and morbidity, and requires intensive care unit (ICU) admission ( 5 ), which is defined by the presence of one or more of the following criteria: respiratory failure, septic shock, multiorgan dysfunction, or complicated pleural effusion ( 6 ). The mortality rate of severe pneumonia in older adult patients can reach up to 50%, depending on the underlying conditions and the causative pathogens ( 7 ). Therefore, it is crucial to identify the risk factors and develop a prediction model for severe pneumonia in older adult patients, in order to improve the diagnosis and management of this condition.…”
