Data are expressed as median with interquartile ranges or n with percentiles (%). When data were not normally distributed, they were Log-n transformed for analysis. The CURB-65 score is a tool for assessing the severity of patients with community-acquired pneumonia, including new onset confusion; urea > 7 mmol/L; respiratory rate ≥ 30 breaths/min, systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≤ 60 mmHg; and age ≥ 65 years. BMI: Body mass index; IQR: Interquartile range; ALB: Albumin; BUN: Blood urea nitrogen; CRP: C-reactive protein; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure; HOD: Hospital day; ICU: Intensive care unit; NEUT: Neutrophil granulocyte; RR: Respiratory rate; SBP: Systolic blood pressure; WBC: White blood cell.
