Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting 28-Day Mortality on Admission in Elderly Patients with Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Abstract: Introduction There were few studies on the mortality of severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) in elderly people. Early prediction of 28-day mortality of hospitalized patients will help in the clinical management of elderly patients (age ≥65 years) with SCAP, but a prediction model that is reliable and valid is still lacking. Methods The 292 elderly patients with SCAP met the criteria defined by the American Thoracic Society from 33 hospitals in China. Clinical para… Show more

“…SCAP is the highest life-threatening type of CAP. The number of patients admitted to the ICU has increased signi cantly in recent decades, especially among older adults, individuals with comorbidities, and immunocompromised patients, with a high ICU in-hospital mortality rate [15,16]. Miquel Ferrer et al reported a 30-day mortality rate of 33% for patients with SCAP on invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU [17].…”

“…We used univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to evaluate the independent prognostic value of the risk score. In the training set, a nomogram was developed based on independent risk factors, and risk scores were calculated for each patient [ 18 , 19 ]. Training and validation sets were used to estimate the accuracy of the nomogram model.…”
