Abstract:  Objective To evaluate the value of combining PCT, BNP, D-Dimer and PCIS score in predicting the prognosis of pediatric severe pneumonia in the early stage. Methods 80 cases of children with severe pneumonia were selected, 49 cases were boys , 31 cases were girls, with a  median age of 7.5 months (1 month to 156 months). According to the final outcome, the cases are divided into treatment group and poor prognosis group. The score of PCIS, PCT, BNP and D-dimer within 24 hours after admission were recorded. According to the indicators, ROC curve was drawn independently and integrated with the four indicators,and the corresponding areas under ROC curve (AUC) were calculated to compare the accuracy of the assessment. Results The AUC of PCIS, PCT, BNP and D-dimer were between 0.7 and 0.9. The ROC curve integrated the four indicators showed the AUC were 0.932, which improved sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions The integration of PCIS, PCT, BNP and D-Dimer could improve the accuracy of prediction in the prognosis of severe pediatric pneumonia.
