Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an observational study aiming to investigate the association between elevated plasma D-dimer levels and the inflammatory response, as well as the impact on survival in adult patients with community acquired pneumonia.

the study participants will be subjected to sampling for D dimer and calculation of CURB 65 score. this aims to find the relation between them

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common and potentially life-threatening infection that affects millions of individuals worldwide each year.

D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product that is elevated in many conditions associated with inflammation and coagulation activation, including pneumonia.

This is an observational study including a minimum of 50 patients with CAP

Patients who will be admitted at Chest department, or coming to the outpatient clinic Ain-Shams University Hospitals with CAP and have the following inclusions:

1. age ≥18 years
2. diagnosis of CAP based on clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and radiological evidence.
3. Did not have any clinical or radiological signs suggesting Covid pneumonia Exclusion criteria Patients with a history of coagulation disorders, cancer, or other chronic diseases, or refusal to participate.

All patients will be subjected to the following: -

1. Full medical history, demographics
2. Thorough clinical examination.
3. laboratory values (including white blood cell count, CRP, and D-dimer), With pre and post sample known precautions (8).
4. Radiological findings (CXR).
5. Severity of illness (based on the CURB-65 score).
