Pneumonia is a common infection of the lung parenchyma in children, and early and accurate diagnosis of childhood pneumonia (CP) is important for implementing appropriate preventive and treatment strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the combination of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RP11-248E9.5, RP11-456D7.1, c-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in CP.
