The aim of the study was to assess the role of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in comparison with routine laboratory tests in patients with COVID-19.
140 hospitalized patients aged 18 and older with COVID-19 pneumonia were included in prospective single-center study. Routine analyses were performed, and MR-proADM level was measured within the first and the third hospital days using Human MR pro-ADM (Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin) ELISA Kit with a sensitivity of 0.469 pmol/L (immunofluorescence assay). National Early Warning Score (NEWS) was used for primary assessment of the disease severity. According to disease outcome the patients were divided into two groups: discharged patients ( = 110, 78.6%) and deceased patients ( = 30, 21.4%). Results: The groups had no statistically significant difference in sex, comorbidity, body temperature, oxygen saturation level, heart rate, respiratory rate, and C-reactive protein (CRP) level and procalcitonin (PCT). The deceased patients had statistically significant difference in age (median, 76 years; interquartile range, 73.2-78.2 vs. median, 66 years; interquartile range, 62-67; < 0.0001), NEWS value (median, 5; interquartile range, 3-8 vs. median, 2; interquartile range, 0-6; <0.05), hospitalization period (median, 17; interquartile range, 7-35 vs. median, 6; interquartile range, 3-14), quantitative CT extent of lung damage > 50% [ = 26 (86.7%) vs. = 9 (8.2%) < 0.0001], level of leukocytes (median, 11.4 ×109/L; interquartile range, 6.2-15.5 vs. median, 5.3 ×109/L; interquartile range, 4.7-6.4; = 0.003), level of neutrophils (median, 80.9%; interquartile range, 73.6-88.6 vs. median, 72.6%; interquartile range, 68.7-76.9; = 0.027), level of MR-proADM at the first hospital day (median, 828.6 pmol/L; interquartile range, 586.4-1,184.6 vs. median, 492.6 pmol/L; interquartile range, 352.9-712.2; = 0.02), and level of MR-proADM at the third hospital day (median, 1,855.2 pmol/L; interquartile range, 1,078.4-2,596.5 vs. median, 270.7 pmol/L; interquartile range, 155.06-427.1).
Mid-regional proadrenomedullin has a higher prognostic value in patients with COVID-19 in comparison with routine inflammatory markers (leukocyte and neutrophils levels, CRP, and PCT) and NEWS.
本研究旨在评估中段肾上腺髓质素原(MR-proADM)在新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)患者中相对于常规实验室检查的作用。
140例年龄18岁及以上的COVID-19肺炎住院患者纳入前瞻性单中心研究。进行常规分析,并在入院第1天和第3天使用灵敏度为0.469 pmol/L的人MR-proADM(中段肾上腺髓质素原)酶联免疫吸附测定试剂盒(免疫荧光法)测量MR-proADM水平。采用国家早期预警评分(NEWS)对疾病严重程度进行初步评估。根据疾病转归将患者分为两组:出院患者(n = 110,78.6%)和死亡患者(n = 30,21.4%)。结果:两组在性别、合并症、体温、血氧饱和度水平、心率、呼吸频率、C反应蛋白(CRP)水平和降钙素原(PCT)方面无统计学显著差异。死亡患者在年龄(中位数76岁;四分位间距73.2 - 78.2岁 vs. 中位数66岁;四分位间距62 - 67岁;P < 0.0001)、NEWS值(中位数5;四分位间距3 - 8 vs. 中位数2;四分位间距0 - 6;P < 0.05)、住院时间(中位数17天;四分位间距7 - 35天 vs. 中位数6天;四分位间距3 - 14天)、肺部损伤定量CT范围> 50%[n = 26(86.7%) vs. n = 9(8.2%);P < 0.0001]、白细胞水平(中位数11.4×10⁹/L;四分位间距6.2 - 15.5 vs. 中位数5.3×10⁹/L;四分位间距4.7 - 6.4;P = 0.003)、中性粒细胞水平(中位数80.9%;四分位间距73.6 - 88.6% vs. 中位数72.6%;四分位间距68.7 - 76.9%;P = 0.027)、入院第1天的MR-proADM水平(中位数828.6 pmol/L;四分位间距586.4 - 1184.6 pmol/L vs. 中位数492.6 pmol/L;四分位间距352.9 - 712.2 pmol/L;P = 0.02)以及入院第3天的MR-proADM水平(中位数1855.2 pmol/L;四分位间距1078.4 - 2596.5 pmol/L vs. 中位数270.7 pmol/L;四分位间距155.06 - 427.1 pmol/L)方面存在统计学显著差异。
与常规炎症标志物(白细胞和中性粒细胞水平、CRP和PCT)及NEWS相比,中段肾上腺髓质素原在COVID-19患者中具有更高的预后价值。
