Predictive value of immune-related parameters in severe <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i> pneumonia in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The severity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is strongly correlated with the extent of the host's immune-inflammatory response. In order to diagnose the severity of MPP early, this study sought to explore the predictive value of immune-related parameters in severe MPP (sMPP) in admitted children.

Methods

We performed a database analysis consisting of patients diagnosed at our medical centers with MPP between 2021 and 2023. We included pediatric patients and examined the association between complete blood cell count (CBC), lymphocyte subsets and the severity of MPP. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify the independent risk factors of sMPP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to estimate discriminant ability.
