Pneumonia and Related Conditions in Critically Ill Patients—Insights from Basic and Experimental Studies

Pneumonia is an acute infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Pneumonia’s development, severity and outcome depend on age, comorbidities and the host immune response. In this study, we combined theoretical and experimental investigations to characterize pneumonia and its comorbid...

description Pneumonia is an acute infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Pneumonia’s development, severity and outcome depend on age, comorbidities and the host immune response. In this study, we combined theoretical and experimental investigations to characterize pneumonia and its comorbidities as well as to assess the host immune response measured by TREC/KREC levels in patients with pneumonia. The theoretical study was carried out using the Columbia Open Health Data (COHD) resource, which provides access to clinical concept prevalence and co-occurrence from electronic health records. The experimental study included TREC/KREC assays in young adults (18–40 years) with community-acquired (CAP) (<i>n</i> = 164) or nosocomial (NP) (<i>n</i> = 99) pneumonia and healthy controls (<i>n</i> = 170). Co-occurring rates between pneumonia, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and some other related conditions common in intensive care units were the top among 4170, 3382 and 963 comorbidities in pneumonia, sepsis and ARDS, respectively. CAP patients had higher TREC levels, while NP patients had lower TREC/KREC levels compared to controls. Low TREC and KREC levels were predictive for the development of NP, ARDS, sepsis and lethal outcome (<i>AUC<sub>TREC</sub></i> in the range 0.71–0.82, <i>AUC<sub>KREC</sub></i> in the range 0.67–0.74). TREC/KREC analysis can be considered as a potential prognostic test in patients with pneumonia.
