Abstract Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The CURB-65 score and other blood biomarkers were used to evaluate prognosis of hospitalized patients with CAP. The aim of our study is t o evaluate the prognostic values of other blood biomarkers and the CURB-65 score in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods A retrospective study of clinical data of in-hospitalized adult CAP patients who fulfilled the CAP criteria and were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui medical university between January 2015 and December 2018 was conducted. The CURB-65 score was calculated, and other biomarkers including blood lymphocyte countat and serum PCT (a propeptide of calcitonin) level were collected at enrolment. Logistic regression analysis was performed to develop combined models to predict 30-day mortality in overall hospitalized and/or the ICU admission of CAP patients. Then, receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) analysis was conducted to measure and compare the prognostic values of the CURB-65 score and biomarkers in the combined models.Results The ROC curve analysis using logistic regression of the new combined models showed that the CURB-65 score combined with lymphocyte count and serum PCT level (designated as CURB-65L P) improved the predictive value and was sensitive diagnostic model in predicting the 30-day mortality of CAP patients.Conclusion Serum level of lymphocytes or PCT alone is a strong prognostic factor for evaluation of 30-day mortality of CAP patients. Incorporation of both factors improves the sensitivity of the CURB-65 scoring system in the prediction of the 30-day mortality. This new CURB-65LP scoring system is simple, but more accurate for evaluating the severity of CAP with higher sensitivity and specificity than the current CURB-65 scoring system.
