Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The clinical usefulness of PCT will be assessed by comparing PCT,known as a bacterial septicemia marker, with currently available inflammation markers in the relation between severity and prognosis of CAP, HAP and HCAP patients.
The current clinical status and profiles of HCAPpatients will also being examined.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

1) Assessment of relation between severity and PCT values in each CAP, HAP and HCAP.
As indicators of severity, A-DROP and PSI systems are used for CAP, IROAD and PSI systems for HAP and A-DROP, IROAD and PSI systems for HCAP patients.

2) Assessment of relation between currently available inflammatory markers and PCT values in each CAP, HAP and HCAP patients.
Inflammatory markers used as comparators: CRP, white blood cell count (WBC)

3) Assessment of relation between patient prognosis and PCT values in each CAP, HAP and HCAP patients.

4) Assessment of relation between causative pathogens and PCT values in each ach CAP, HAP and HCAP patients.

5) Examination of current status and profiles of HCAP.
Differences between HCAP and CAP or HCAP will be compared in patient characteristics, laboratory findings and agents for initial treatment.
