Abstract

Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) can deteriorate into respiratory failure requiring immediate ventilatory intervention. This study compared the performance of the PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio, the ratio of oxygen saturation (ROX) index, and the heart rate, acidosis, consciousness, oxygenation, and respiratory rate (HACOR) score in predicting non-invasive ventilation (NIV) failure and length of hospital stay in patients diagnosed with CAP. Methods: This study was conducted at Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital, Surakarta, from March to September 2023. All patients diagnosed with CAP who were eligible for NIV were recruited. Each patient's age, sex, comorbidities, vital signs, pneumonia severity index (PSI), blood urea, bilirubin, hematocrit, blood sodium, P/F ratio, ROX index, and HACOR score were measured within the first 24 hours of NIV. Subsequently, the correlations between these variables and NIV failure (intubation or mortality) and length of hospital stay were assessed. Results: The P/F ratio, ROX index, and HACOR score were not correlated with intubation or length of stay. The P/F ratio was correlated with mortality (p = 0.040), whereas the other scores were not. Higher body temperature was correlated with intubation (p = 0.032). PSI was correlated with both mortality (p = 0.033) and length of hospital stay (p = 0.009). Conclusion: The P/F ratio is superior to the ROX index and HACOR score in predicting mortality in patients with pneumonia-related respiratory failure treated with NIV. Since it is simple and accessible, measuring the P/F ratio within the first 24 hours of NIV is recommended to identify a patient's risk of NIV failure and apply appropriate monitoring.

Abstract

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae causes 95% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Interleukin 6, procalcitonin, microbial count, and lung histopathology can help in determining indicators of inflammatory processes and prognosis. Curcumin, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, can be used as an adjunctive therapy in infectious diseases. Methods: This was a laboratory experimental study. A sample of 30 white rats (Rattus norvegicus) infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae was carried out in the experimental animal laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret in November 2022 with incidental sampling. The control group received 1cc of aquadest, the first treatment group received 30 mg/200 g of curcuma longa extract, the second treatment group received 50 mg/200 g of Curcuma longa extract, the third treatment group received 30 mg/200 g of Curcuma longa extract and 30 mg/200 g of amoxicillin, and the fourth treatment group received 30 mg/200 g of amoxicillin. Interleukin 6 and procalcitonin were measured on the third and twelfth days after the rats were infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. The microbial count and histopathology of the lungs were assessed after the twelfth day. Results: There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the decrease in levels of interleukin 6, procalcitonin, and microbial count in the treatment group compared to the control group. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the improvement in the histopathology of the lungs in the treatment group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Curcuma longa extract can significantly reduce levels of interleukin 6, procalcitonin, and microbial count, but not significantly improve the histopathology of the lung.

Abstract

Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), critically sick pneumonia has a high mortality rate, so forecasting the prognosis is crucial for making decisions. Early detection of clinical deterioration and the implementation of early intervention and care can be achieved through the use of scoring systems. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system is a better system in predicting mortality in critically ill patients. However, in this study, we aim to observed  the use of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score as a predictor of mortality and length of stay (LOS). Methods: From April to August 2023, we treated 125 critically sick pneumonia patients in the ICU as part of a prospective observational research. An integrated ICU mortality calculator was used to assess the performance of the APACHE II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II), and SOFA scores. Descriptive statistics will be used for data analysis, and the Fisher exact test and Chi-square test will be used for testing. logistic regression and linear regression methods are used in multivariate analysis. If the p-value is less than 0.05, it will be statistically significant. Results: APACHE II, SAPS II, and SOFA scores were significant in predicting the outcome of critically ill pneumonia patients (cut-off of ≥14.5, ≥34.5, and ≥3.5, respectively). The Spearman rank correlation for LOS shows that APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS II scores have a very weak relationship with the p-values are 0.121, 0.766, and 0.436, respectively. Conclusion: The SOFA score is a good mortality predictor in critically ill pneumonia patients yet is simpler and easier to use in all settings in the hospital.
