Objective  To investigate the clinical characteristics and death risk factors of patients with community acquired pneumonia and sepsis. Methods  Data of 350 patients with community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2015 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and their basic characteristics, laboratory results and treatment were analyzed. Results  The absolute value of white blood cell, neutrophil ratio, absolute value of neutrophil, inflammatory index, liver and kidney function, coagulation function, cardiac enzymology, lactic acid and sequential organ failure evaluation score of patients with community acquired pneumonia sepsis in the non-survival group were higher than those in the survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that respiratory rate, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, blood oxygen saturation, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, lactic acid, creatinine and lymphocyte ratio may be independent risk factors for 28-day death in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis.The receiver operating characteristic curve shows that the combination of the above indicators to predict the risk of death of patients has the best sensitivity, specificity and maximum area under the curve, which is superior to the prediction value of individual variables. Conclusions  Patients in the non-survivor group of community-acquired pneumonia sepsis had more severe inflammatory response and organ function impairment. Respiratory rate, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, blood oxygen saturation, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, lactic acid, creatinine, lymphocyte ratio and other indicators are independent risk factors for death of patients with community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis, which have better prognostic value when combined.
