Characteristics and prognosis of pulmonary infection in 83 elderly patients in emergency department
Objective To study the characteristics and prognostic analysis of 83 cases of pulmonary infection in elderly patients in emergency department.Methods Thirty-eight elderly patients with pulmonary infection from January 2013 to December 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results The number of neutrophils increased in 56 patients(67.46%), the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio increased in 69 patients(83.13%), and C-reactive protein increased in 74 patients increased(89.16 %).There was significant difference between C-reactive protein detection and neutrophil count(P<0.05).61 cases(73.49%) were complicated with other diseases.While the effect of a single antibiotic treatment is less effective.Conclusion The early symptoms of pulmonary infection in the elderly are easy to ignore, and often associated with other diseases.C-reactive protein, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio combined with lung imaging can be more accurate response to the elderly pulmonary infection.Early detection and early treatment, combined use of antibiotics can improve the prognosis.
