| Abstract |
Community acquired pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The association between serum phosphorus levels on admission and the outcome of patients with community acquired pneumonia has not been widely examined. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of serum phosphorus levels on admission on the 30- day mortality. The cohort included patients of 18 years old or older who were diagnosed with community acquired pneumonia between 2006 and 2012. Patients were retrospectively analyzed to identify risk factors for a primary endpoint of 30-day mortality. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for the calculation of the odds ratios (OR) and p values in bivariate and multivariate analysis to identify association between patients' characteristic and 30-day mortality. The cohort included 3894 patients. In multivariate regression analysis, variables associated with increased risk of 30-day mortality included: age >80 years, increased CURB-65 score, RDW >15, hypernatremia >150 mmol/l, hypoalbuminemia <2 gr/dl and abnormal levels of phosphorus. Levels of <1.5 mg/dl and >4.5 mg/dl were significantly associated with excess 30-day mortality, 38 % (OR 2.9, CI 1.8-4.9, P = 0.001) and 39 % (OR 3.4, CI 2.7-4.2, P = 0.001), respectively. Phosphorus levels within the upper normal limits (4-4.5 mg/dl) were associated with higher mortality rates compared to levels between 1.5-3.5 mg/dl, the reference group, 24 % (OR 1.9, CI 1.5-2.4, P = 0.001). Abnormal phosphorus levels on admission are associated with increased mortality rates among patients hospitalized with Community acquired pneumonia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 April 2020.
All research outputs
#18,299,839
of 23,509,253 outputs
Outputs from BMC Infectious Diseases
#5,209
of 7,831 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#180,021
of 265,746 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Infectious Diseases
#111
of 142 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,509,253 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,831 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.4. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,746 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 142 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
