Initial levels of mr-proadrenomedullin: a predictor of severity in patients with influenza a virus pneumonia
Introduction High levels of MR-proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) have been described in critical sepsis patients. This is directly related to the relaxation of vascular tone and, therefore, hypotension and the presence of organ failure in patients with septic shock. In patients with severe pneumonia due to influenza A, although without great hemodynamic compromise, the presence of respiratory failu...
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. Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and CURB-65 score (confusion (abbreviated ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of severity indicators of nursing-home-acquired pneumonia versus community-acquired pneumonia in elderly patients
BACKGROUND The credibility of prognostic indicators in nursing-home-acquired pneumonia (NHAP) is not clear. We previously reported a simple prognostic indicator in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP): blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin (B/A) ratio. This retrospective study investigated the prognostic value of severity indicators in NHAP versus CAP in elderly patients. METHODS Patients aged ≥...
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...
متن کاملPrognostic and Predictive Clinical, Pathological and Molecular Markers for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: review of articles
Approximately 90% of all head and neck malignancies and 94% of oral malignancies are squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Tobacco smoking is considered as the most important causative agent for SCC. Despite aggressive and multidisciplinary treatment approaches, there has been no significant improvement in 5-year survival over the past 20 years. Several prognostic and predictive clinical, pathological...
