Usefulness of Midregional Proadrenomedullin to Predict Poor Outcome in Patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia
BACKGROUND midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a prognostic biomarker in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We sought to confirm whether MR-proADM added to Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) improves the potential prognostic value of PSI alone, and tested to what extent this combination could be useful in predicting poor outcome of patients with CAP in an Emergency Departmen...
متن کاملPrognostic power of proadrenomedullin in community-acquired pneumonia is independent of aetiology.
Biomarkers are useful in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Recently, midregional (MR) proadrenomedullin (proADM) has been shown to be of potential prognostic use. We sought to determine whether this prognostic role depends on the cause of CAP. We conducted a prospective cohort study of immunocompetent patients with CAP.

METHODS The study included 1172 consecutive patients (830 inpatients, 342 outpat...
متن کاملDiagnostic and prognostic value of procalcitonin in community-acquired pneumonia.
INTRODUCTION The value of measuring procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the value of PCT as a marker for microbial etiology and a predictor of outcome in CAP patients. METHODS A single-center observational study was conducted with CAP patients. On admission, their leukocyte count, serum C-reactive protein l...
