We collected fasting venous blood and clinical features. Serum LRG1 was detected by ELISA. CAP severity was assessed using various scoring systems. The prognostic outcomes were observed through follow-up visits.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The level of serum LRG1 at admission was gradually increased with CAP severity scores. Serum LRG1 level shown positive associations with inflammatory indices, including C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Linear and logistic regression analyses suggested that serum LRG1 at admission was positively associated with severity scores and the risk of death in CAP patients. Serum LRG1 in combination with CAP severity scores significantly increased the predictive powers for severity and death compared with single serum LRG1 or severity scores.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study revealed positive connections of serum LRG1 levels with severity and poor prognosis in CAP patients, suggesting LRG1 partakes into the physiological processes of CAP. Serum LRG1 may be regarded as a potential biomarker in predicting the severity and death among CAP patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":16107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inflammation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11537034/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142583498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
