Metabolomics to improve outcome prediction in LRTI. Figure 2 shows the influence of different factors such as age, diseases, drugs, environment, genetic factors, lifestyle and nutrition on endogenous metabolome which defines the human phenotype. The knowledge of metabolic interactions may provide individual risk stratification, prediction of therapy response as well as new targets for future individual therapy and therefore a form of personalized medicine.
