Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify inflammatory biomarkers that could help predict ventilator-associated pneumonia in elderly patients post-abdominal surgery.
- It included 265 patients aged 60 and above, finding a 35.1% incidence of pneumonia, with higher levels of certain biomarkers (SAA, TLR4, sTREM-1) in affected patients.
- The combined use of these biomarkers in a predictive model showed a high accuracy rate, making them useful for early identification of pneumonia risk in this vulnerable population.
