| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction Pneumonia is the most common cause of mortality from infectious diseases, the second leading cause of nosocomial infection, and the leading cause of mortality among hospitalized adults. To improve clinical management, metabolomics has been increasingly applied to find specific metabolic biopatterns (profiling) for the diagnosis and prognosis of various infectious diseases, including pneumonia. Methods One hundred fifty bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients whose plasma samples were drawn within the first 24 h of hospital admission were enrolled in this study and separated into two age- and sex-matched cohorts: non-survivors (died ≤ 90 days) and survivors (survived > 90 days). Three analytical tools, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, GC-MS, and targeted DI-MS/MS, were used to prognosticate non-survivors from survivors by means of metabolic profiles. Results We show that quantitative lipid profiling using DI-MS/MS can predict the 90-day mortality and in-hospital mortality among patients with bacterial CAP compared to 1H-NMR- and GC-MS-based metabolomics. This study showed that the decreased lysophosphatidylcholines and increased acylcarnitines are significantly associated with increased mortality in bacterial CAP. Additionally, we found that decreased lysophosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylcholines (> 36 carbons) and increased acylcarnitines may be used to predict the prognosis of in-hospital mortality for bacterial CAP as well as the need for ICU admission and severity of bacterial CAP. Discussion This study demonstrates that lipid-based plasma metabolites can be used for the prognosis of 90-day mortality among patients with bacterial CAP. Moreover, lipid profiling can be utilized to identify patients with bacterial CAP who are at the highest risk of dying in hospital and who need ICU admission as well as the severity assessment of CAP. | |
