Role of blood urea nitrogen and serum albumin ratio in predicting severity of community acquired pneumonia (CAP)

Blood urea nitrogen and serum albumin levels are independent risk factors for poor clinical outcome in CAP. However, there is a paucity in the literature on the role of Blood urea nitrogen and albumin ratio(B/A) in CAP. This was a prospective observational study in which 112 admitted patients with...
