Thirteen of the clinical parameters (sex, age, hypertension, DM, malignant tumour, use of biologics, use of CNIs, use of methylprednisolone at 500 mg, use of methylprednisolone at 40 mg, use of methylprednisolone at 40 mg total dose, use of oral glucocorticoids, albumin level, and haemoglobin level) were integrated to construct a pulmonary infection prediction (PIP) model in patients receiving ISDs (Figure 4). Here, ALB is linked to hypertensive disorder.
