Association of C-Reactive Protein and Outcome in Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Physicians tend to think that high C-reactive protein (CRP) and increase of CRP are associated with bad outcome in infectious disease. However there were little evidences about clinical interpretation of C-reactive protein (CRP) value in patient with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We investigated association of CRP values and 30-day mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia who were admitted to emergency department (ED).
