CAP is the main cause of death due to infectious disease (10–14%) and the most frequent reason of sepsis-septic shock in the ED. In the last decade, the search for objective tools to help establishing an early diagnosis, bacterial aetiology, severity, suspicion of bacteremia and the prognosis of mortality has increased. Biomarkers have shown their usefulness in this matter. Procalcitonin (obtains the highest accuracy for CAP diagnosis, bacterial aetiology and the presence of bacteremia), lactate (biomarker of hypoxia and tissue hypoperfusion) and proadrenomedullin (which has the greatest accuracy to predict mortality which in combination with the prognostic severity scales obtains even better results).</p><p id="spar0010" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">The aim of this review is to highlight recently published scientific evidence and to compare the utility and prognostic accuracy of the biomarkers in CAP patients treated in the ED.</p></span>" ] "es" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Resumen" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0015" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Al 1,35% de los pacientes del servicio de urgencias (SU) se les diagnostica neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC), principal causa infecciosa de muerte en nuestro entorno (10-14%) y origen de la mayoría de sepsis-shock sépticos en los SU. En la última década se ha acentuado la búsqueda de herramientas de ayuda para establecer un diagnóstico precoz, la etiología, la gravedad, la sospecha de bacteriemia y el pronóstico de mortalidad en la NAC. Para ello los biomarcadores han demostrado gran utilidad: procalcitonina (mayor rendimiento diagnóstico de NAC, etiología bacteriana y coexistencia de bacteriemia), lactato (marcador de hipoxia e hipoperfusión tisular) y proadrenomedulina (con la mayor capacidad de predecir mortalidad y combinada con las escalas pronósticas de gravedad obtiene aún mejores resultados).
