Predicting the potentially exacerbation of severe viral pneumonia in hospital by MuLBSTA score joint CD4 + and CD8 +T cell counts: construction and verification of risk warning model.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study mainly focuses on the immune function and introduces CD4⁺, CD8⁺ T cells and their ratios based on the MuLBSTA score, a previous viral pneumonia mortality risk warning model, to construct an early warning model of severe viral pneumonia risk.

Methods

A retrospective single-center observational study was operated from January 2021 to December 2022 at the People's Hospital of Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, China. A total of 138 patients who met the criteria for viral pneumonia in hospital were selected and their data, including demographic data, comorbidities, laboratory results, CT scans, immunologic and pathogenic tests, treatment regimens, and clinical outcomes, were collected and statistically analyzed.

Results

Forty-one pati
