Increased plasma AACT level as an indicator of poor prognosis in patients hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia: a multicentre prospective cohort study
Plasma AACT levels are elevated in patients with CAP, but plasma AACT level is inferior to the C-reactive protein level for diagnosing CAP. The AACT level can reliably predict the occurrence of ARDS and 30-day mortality in patients with CAP.
