potentially deadly.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,2</span></a> One of the objectives in the care of CAP patients at the time of diagnosis is to establish an estimated prognosis, in order to determine the need for hospitalization or for planning the most suitable follow-up. Numerous scales for assessing CAP severity and risk are available for this purpose, such as the CURB65 criteria (confusion, urea, respiratory rate, blood pressure, age>65 years),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> and the Severe Community Acquired Pneumonia (SCAP) score.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> These scales have been widely validated in large population cohorts and are currently the most useful tools available for assessing the prognosis of CAP patients at the time of diagnosis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6–8</span></a></p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Efforts are currently underway to improve the prognostic value of these clinical scales. Given that pneumonia is a localized infectious process that causes a systemic inflammatory response, it is postulated that the study of this inflammatory process would assist in evaluating the severity of CAP and predicting its progress. In this respect, several biomarkers determined at the time of CAP diagnosis have been studied, including procalcitonin (PCT), proadrenomedullin (proADM) and copeptin<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9–14</span></a>; these molecules measured at diagnosis have shown a greater prognostic power than C-reactive protein (CRP) or total leukocyte count, but have not proven to be superior to traditional scales. Several authors have reassessed the use of simpler, more accessible markers at diagnosis, such as the neutrophil/lymphocytes ratio (NLR)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15,16</span></a> or the neutrophil count percentage (NCP),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> with the advantage that both are easily identifiable, inexpensive parameters. Along these lines, Curbelo et al. compared NCP with PCT, proADM, and copeptin, and found it was not significantly inferior in terms of its prognostic capacity for mortality in the short and medium term.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Continuing in the search for efficient biomarkers, other authors have proposed simple, economic parameters and evaluated their usefulness not only for diagnosis, but also for the follow-up of patients with CAP. Zhydkov et al. found that total leukocyte counts and CRP in patients hospitalized for CAP provided prognostic information if they were evaluated in clinical laboratory tests during patient follow-up.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> Other studies also show that NLR and NCP in early-stage blood tests (at 3–5 days) are equally or more useful than determinations made on admission,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> and suggest that these 2 parameters may be very useful prognostic markers of the progress of patients hospitalized for CAP.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of NCP and NLR measured during the course of CAP, and their role as predictors of mortality at 30 and 90 days.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Materials and Methods</span><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This was a retrospective study of CAP patients admitted to the respiratory medicine or internal medicine department of the Hospital Universitario de La Princesa in Madrid between 2010 and 2012.

Unfortunately, in this study NCP and NLR data were not provided, and AUC for the isolated markers were not calculated. In previous studies, our group performed 2 blood tests in a prospective cohort of patients with CAP requiring hospitalization and demonstrated the utility of parameters such as NLR and NCP at admission, but especially in early-stage tests, finding a prognostic power comparable to that of other molecules, such as proADM, PCT, and copeptin.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> This study strengthens the evidence provided by these previous papers, stressing the usefulness of blood tests as part of the early-stage monitoring of progress in patients with severe CAP requiring hospitalization.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There is abundant evidence to show that PCT is the most useful biomarker for monitoring the progress of respiratory infections.

After diagnosis, the only indicator for patients with severe CAP available to the clinician is the course of the disease itself. In the subgroup of patients with severe CAP, the determination of NCP or NLR in early-stage blood tests would help identify patients at increased risk for adverse outcomes and indicate the need to intensify monitoring and plan close observation. It should be pointed out that while the NLR or NCP AUCs for 30-day and 90-day mortality in the early-stage blood test are similar to those of CURB65 or PSI, they are not comparable. The CAP assessment scales stratify the risk at the time of diagnosis, while NLR or NCP becomes useful in the post-acute phase, after the start of antibiotic treatment.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study follows the lines of other authors who suggest the need to use new biomarkers in clinical practice. Simple, low-cost parameters, such as NCP or NLR, can provide clinically useful information.

Moreover, the cohort of CAP patients was restricted to those who were hospitalized and presented clinical laboratory results, so the full spectrum of severity of the disease is not represented. The inclusion of hospitalized subjects implies the exclusion of patients with mild CAP who would receive outpatient management. Furthermore, the criterion of requiring an early-stage blood test meant that some patients with a severe disease course and early death might have been excluded. Another potential limitation is the fact that the blood tests were carried 3–5 days after admission instead of on a specific day. Although this factor might generate a certain degree of imprecision, it provides the study with a degree of pragmatism and reflects clinical practice: protocolized blood tests performed on fixed days are unlikely to be translatable to day-to-day care.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Conclusions</span><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">NCP and NLR are accessible, inexpensive parameters that provide information on the prognosis of patients with severe CAP when analyzed in early follow-up, within 3–5 days following a diagnosis of pneumonia.

(2) patients with neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular disease or fragility, with high risk of dysphagia, who had previously performed an ENT test for dysphagia with a positive result, despite not having presented witnessed bronchoaspirative episodes.</p>" "etiqueta" => "Annex" "titulo" => "Definitions of conditions" "identificador" => "sec0045" ] ] ] ] "multimedia" => array:5 [ 0 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "fig0005" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr1.jpeg" "Alto" => 777 "Ancho" => 2119 "Tamanyo" => 115366 ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spar0045" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Analysis of changes in neutrophil count percentage (panel A) and neutrophils/lymphocytes ratio (panel B) according to 90-day mortality.</p>" ] ] 1 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "fig0010" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 2" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr2.jpeg" "Alto" => 1474 "Ancho" => 2180 "Tamanyo" => 115951 ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spar0050" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">ROC curves for 90-day mortality for the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the neutrophil count percentage (NCP) measured in early-stage blood test.</p>" ] ] 2 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "fig0015" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 3" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr3.jpeg" "Alto" => 1104 "Ancho" => 3027 "Tamanyo" => 135353 ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spar0055" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Mortality during follow-up according to the neutrophil count percentage (panel A) and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (panel B) measured in the early-stage blood test.</p>" ] ] 3 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "tbl0005" "etiqueta" => "Table 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIATABLA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "at1" "detalle" => "Table " "rol" => "short" ] ] "tabla" => array:3 [ "leyenda" => "<p id="spar0065" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;
