Objective: The associations of inflammation and immunity of host lead to higher mortality in both community-acquired and hospital-acquired pneumonia patients. Therefore, several inflammatory and immunological biomarkers are essential for diagnosis, prognosis, and survival. Among these inflammatory markers, such as older age, and higher blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein, and lower albumin levels have been shown to have strong correlations with worse outcomes and high mortality, especially in community-acquired pneumonia patients. In this study, we investigated the correlation between several biochemical markers, which are mostly involved in inflammation, and mortality in not only community-acquired but also hospital-acquired pneumonia patients.
