PLR/SII/D-dimer iron triangle: a novel precision prediction strategy for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia-associated plastic bronchitis in children

This study demonstrates that PLR, SII, and D-dimer are important indicators for predicting the occurrence of PB in children. The combined model of these three indicators is more sensitive and specific than the individual risk factors in predicting PB occurrence. Additionally, this model provides synergistic guidance for the duration of macrolide antibiotic therapy.
