Prognostic Value of the National Early Warning Score Combined with Nutritional and Endothelial Stress Indices for Mortality Prediction in Critically Ill Patients with Pneumonia.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Pneumonia is a leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and is associated with high mortality, particularly among patients with multiple comorbidities. Accurate early risk stratification is essential for guiding clinical decision-making in critically ill patients. However, the prognostic benefit of combining clinical scoring systems with nutritional and endothelial stress indices in ICU patients with pneumonia remains unclear. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, single-center cohort study included adult patients admitted to the ICU with a diagnosis of pneumonia between 1 January 2023 and 1 July 2025. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, clinical variables, laboratory parameters, and prognostic scores were obtained from elec
