Multicenter Study Comparative Study[CCERW: a new rule to predict treatment failure in patients with community-acquired pneumonia in middle aged and elderly people].
To develop and validate a clinical rule to predict treatment failure in middle-aged and elderly patients suffering from community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in China, and to compare it with other prognostic rules. ⋯ CCERW can help physicians to distinguish high and low risk leading to treatment failure in middle-aged and elder patients with CAP, and has better predictable capability than PSI, CURB65 and CRB65. We prudent recommend the simple rule can be used in the middle-aged and elder patients with CAP of Han race people in China.

[Clinical and laboratory criteria for identification of early-onset stroke associated pneumonia: a prospective trial].
To investigate the significance of first determined contents of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1 (sTREM-1) and the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) in the detection of early-onset pneumonia (EOP) developed in patients suffering from stroke. ⋯ The first PCT is an effective indicator to predict EOP. The first CPIS is an index for screening EOP. PCT combined with CPIS may improve the specificity to predict EOP. The first sTREM-1 is a good indicator to identify severe EOP. Combination of first PCT and sTREM-1 may greatly improve the specificity to predict severe EOP.
