| Popis: | Aim To investigate influence of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and proatherogenic risk factors to improve the accuracy of pneumonia severity index (PSI) in the prediction of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) outcome in healthy individuals. Methods A retrospective observational cross-sectional study conducted at the Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases and Tuberculosis “Podhrastovi”, University Clinical Centre Sarajevo, included 83 patients with the diagnosis of CAP during the period March 2019-March 2021. Once diagnosed with CAP, PSI score was calculated and according to its value the need for hospital treatment was identified. Patients were divided in two groups: low risk of CAP (PSI 90). Results The overall average hospital stay was 22.76±10.154 days. In the patients diagnosed with CAP, a positive correlation was established between the following parameters PSI score and age (r=0.670; p |
