The independent predictive value of admission serum ferritin concentration for prognosis in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia in the emergency department
Admission serum ferritin is an independent predictor for the prognosis of elderly patients with CAP, and it exhibits a strong ability to predict the 28-day mortality and vasopressor administration. The combination of ferritin with SOFA and CURB-65 scores significantly improves the prognostic predictive potency.
