Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pneumonia is a major threat to the health of children, especially those under the age of five. Mycoplasma  pneumoniae infection is a core cause of pediatric pneumonia, and the incidence of severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP) has increased in recent years. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish an early warning model for SMPP to improve the prognosis of pediatric pneumonia.
