Development of a nomogram to estimate the risk of community-acquired pneumonia in adults with acute asthma exacerbations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics of acute asthma exacerbations (AEs) with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults and establish a CAP prediction model for hospitalized patients with AEs.

Methods

We retrospectively collected clinical data from 308 patients admitted to Beijing Luhe Hospital, Capital Medical University, for AEs from December 2017 to August 2021. The patients were divided into CAP and non-CAP groups based on whether they had CAP. We used the Lasso regression technique and multivariate logistic regression analysis to select optimal predictors. We then developed a predictive nomogram based on the optimal predictors. The bootstrap method was used for internal validation. We used the area under the receiver operatin
