Abstract
Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. There is a need for biomarkers that can be used for the diagnosis of sepsis and the early identification of patients at high risk of death. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), procalcitonin (PCT), and copeptin in sepsis. A total of 28 sepsis, 32 septic shock, and 30 control patients were included in our prospective study. Patients' MR-proADM, PCT, and copeptin levels were recorded. Sequential organ failure assessment scores, length of hospital stay, and 30-day mortality were also recorded. These values were compared between the sepsis, septic shock, and control groups. The mean age of all participants was 64.04 ± 15.83 years. In the study, 37 (61.6%) patients were female and 23 (39.3%) were male. There was no statistically significant difference in gender/age between all patient groups and the control group (for all, p > 0.05). We found a significant difference between the survivors and nonsurvivors in terms of MR-proADM, PCT, and copeptin levels. There was a significant difference between the sepsis and septic shock groups in terms of MR-proADM and PCT. A significant correlation was found between the length of hospital stay and MR-proADM and copeptin. MR-proADM, PCT, and copeptin may be useful in the prognosis of sepsis and to predict the length of stay in hospital and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE The precise effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the neuroendocrine hydro-electrolytic regulation are not precisely understood. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate, in healthy subjects, the neuroendocrine response of the antidiuretic system to intravenous diclofenac infusion. METHODS For this single-blinded, cross-over study, we recruited 12 healthy subjects (50% women). Test sessions were divided into three observation times (pre-test; test; 48 h post-test), which were repeated equally on two different occasions, with the administration of diclofenac (75 mg in saline solution 0.9% 100 cc) on 1 day, or placebo (saline solution 0.9% 100 cc) on another day. The night before the test the subjects were asked to collect a salivary cortisol and cortisone sample, which was repeated on the night of the procedure session. Serial urine and blood samples were collected on the test day (for osmolality, electrolytes, ACTH, cortisol, copeptin, MR-proADM, MR-proANP; the last three represent more stable and analytically reliable molecules than their respective active peptides). Moreover, the subjects were evaluated with the bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) before and after the test. Forty-eight hours after the end of the procedure urine sodium, urine potassium, urine osmolality, serum sodium and copeptin were revaluated together with BIVA. RESULTS No significant changes in circulating hormone levels were observed; anyway, 48 h after diclofenac, BIVA showed a significant water retention (p < 0.00001), especially in extracellular fluid (ECF) (16.47 ± 1.65 vs 15.67 ± 1.84, p < 0.001). Salivary cortisol and cortisone tended to increase only the night after placebo administration (p = 0.054 cortisol; p = 0.021 cortisone). CONCLUSION Diclofenac resulted in an increased ECF at 48 h, but this phenomenon seems to be associated with a greater renal sensibility to the action of vasopressin rather than with an increase in its secretion. Moreover, a partial inhibitory effect on cortisol secretion can be hypothesized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is useful for risk stratification in patients with sepsis and respiratory infections. The study's purpose was to assess the available data and determine the association between MR-proADM levels and mortality in COVID-19 participants. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of medical electronic databases was performed including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, and grey literature for relevant data published from 1 January 2020, to 20 November 2022. Mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. RESULTS Fourteen studies reported MR-proADM levels in survivors vs. non-survivors of COVID-19 patients. Pooled analysis showed that MR-proADM level in the survivor group was 0.841 ± 0.295 nmol/L for patients who survive COVID-19, compared to 1.692 ± 0.761 nmol/L for non-survivors (MD = -0.78; 95%CI: -0.92 to -0.64; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The main finding of this study is that mortality of COVID-19 is linked to MR-proADM levels, according to this meta-analysis. The use of MR-proADM might be extremely beneficial in triaging, assessing probable therapy escalation, predicting potential complications during therapy or significant clinical deterioration of patients, and avoiding admission which may not be necessary. Nevertheless, in order to confirm the obtained data, it is necessary to conduct large prospective studies that will address the potential diagnostic role of MR-proADM as a marker of COVID-19 severity.KEY MESSAGESSeverity of COVID-19 seems to be linked to MR-proADM levels and can be used as a potential marker for predicting a patient's clinical course.The use of MR-proADM might be beneficial in triaging, assessing probable therapy escalation, predicting potential complications during therapy or significant clinical deterioration of patients, and avoiding admission which may not be necessary.For patients with COVID-19, MR-proADM may be an excellent prognostic indicator because it is a marker of endothelial function that may predict the precise impact on the equilibrium between vascular relaxation and contraction and lowers platelet aggregation inhibitors, coagulation inhibitors, and fibrinolysis activators in favor of clotting factors.

Abstract
The development of multiple organ failure and septic complications increases the cumulative risk of mortality in children with severe injury. Clinically available biochemical markers have shown promise in assessing the severity and predicting the development of complications and outcomes in such cases. This study aimed to determine informative criteria for assessing the severity and outcome prediction of severe injury in children based on levels of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) procalcitonin (PCT), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and protein S100. Biomarker levels were measured in 52 children with severe injury (ISS ≥ 16) on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 14th days after admission to the ICU. The children were divided into groups based on their favorable (n = 44) or unfavorable (n = 8) outcomes according to the Severe Injury Outcome Scale, as well as their favorable (n = 35) or unfavorable (n = 15) outcomes according to the Glasgow Coma Outcome Scale (GOS). The study also evaluated the significance of biomarker levels in predicting septic complications (with SC (n = 16) and without SC (n = 36)) and diagnosing and stratifying multiple organ failure (with MOF (n = 8) and without MOF (n = 44)). A comprehensive assessment of MR-proADM and PCT provided the highest diagnostic and prognostic efficacy for early diagnosis, risk stratification of multiple organ failure, and outcome prediction in severe injury cases involving children. Additionally, the inclusion of the S100 protein in the study allowed for further assessment of brain damage in cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI), contributing to the overall prognostic model.

Abstract
AIMS Adrenomedullin is a vasodilatory peptide with a role in microcirculatory and endothelial homeostasis. Adrenomedullin is a substrate for neprilysin and may therefore play a role in beneficial effects of sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) was measured in 156 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) treated with Sac/Val and 264 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) randomized to treatment with Sac/Val or valsartan. Echocardiography and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire results were collected at baseline and after 6 and 12 months in the HFrEF cohort. Median (Q1-Q3) baseline MR-proADM concentrations were 0.80 (0.59-0.99) nmol/L in HFrEF and 0.88 (0.68-1.20) nmol/L in HFpEF. After 12 weeks of treatment with Sac/Val, MR-proADM increased by median 49% in HFrEF and 60% in HFpEF, while there were no significant changes in valsartan-treated patients (median 2%). Greater increases in MR-proADM were associated with higher Sac/Val doses. Changes in MR-proADM correlated weakly with changes in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin T and urinary cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Increases in MR-proADM were associated with decreases in blood pressure, but not significantly associated with changes in echocardiographic parameters or health status. CONCLUSIONS MR-proAD concentrations rise substantially following treatment with Sac/Val, in contrast to no change from valsartan. Change in MR-proADM from neprilysin inhibition did not correlate with improvements in cardiac structure and function or health status. More data are needed regarding the role of adrenomedullin and its related peptides in the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatments are crucial to reducing mortality risk in septic patients. Low SOFA scores and current biomarkers may not adequately discern patients that could develop severe organ dysfunction or have an elevated mortality risk. The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the predictive value of the biomarkers mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate for 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis, and patients with a SOFA score ≤6. 284 were included, with a 28-day all-cause mortality of 8.45% (n = 24). Non-survivors were older (p = 0.003), required mechanical ventilation (p = 0.04), were ventilated for longer (p = 0.02), and had higher APACHE II (p = 0.015) and SOFA (p = 0.027) scores. Lactate showed the highest predictive ability for all-cause 28-day mortality, with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.67 (0.55-0.79). The AUROC for all-cause 28-day mortality in patients with community-acquired infection was 0.69 (0.57-0.84) for SOFA and 0.70 (0.58-0.82) for MR-proADM. A 2.1 nmol/L cut-off point for this biomarker in this subgroup of patients discerned, with 100% sensibility, survivors from non-survivors at 28 days. In patients with community-acquired sepsis and initial SOFA score ≤ 6, MR-proADM could help identify patients at risk of 28-day mortality.

Abstract
AIM In a randomized control trial mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM)-guided decision-making has been proven to safely reduce hospital admissions based on an accurate assessment of disease severity in the Emergency Department (ED). This study aimed to assess the impact of a MR-proADM-Guided Triage (MR-GT) versus standard Hospital Triage (HT) on clinical and economic outcomes in ED patients with suspected infection in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK, using Patient-Level Data (PLD) from two observational studies. METHODS PLD was collected from patients enrolled at a Spanish hospital during two observational studies. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of hospitalization. A patient-level simulation model was subsequently developed to evaluate the clinical and economic impact of MR-GT versus HT using results from the statistical analysis and country-specific cost data from the published literature. Probabilistic and deterministic sensitivity analyses were carried out. RESULTS Four hundred seventy-three patients were enrolled in this study. MR-proADM had the strongest association with hospital admission, followed by age and National Early Warning Score (NEWS). In the simulation model, MR-GT was associated with an overall reduction in unnecessary hospitalization relative to HT, equal to 22.6 percentage points (40.9% vs 63.5%). In addition, the use of MR-GT would reduce the total hospital cost per patient presenting to the ED with suspected infection by roughly 30%, with a mean cost saving per patient of €626, €1,484, €1,154, and £1,113 in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK respectively. The robustness of these findings was confirmed by sensitivity analyses. LIMITATIONS The statistical analyses were not performed on the same population simulated in the model. Clinical input parameters were assumed to be the same for all countries. CONCLUSIONS MR-proADM showed to be the main predictor of hospitalization. A MR-proADM decision algorithm provides cost savings in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The early diagnosis of sepsis is hampered by the lack of reliable laboratory measures. There is growing evidence that presepsin and Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) are promising biomarkers in the diagnosis of sepsis. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the diagnostic value of MR-proADM and presepsin in sepsis patients. METHODS We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, China national knowledge infrastructure, and Wanfang up to 22th July, 2022, for studies evaluating the diagnosis performance of presepsin and MR-proADM in adult sepsis patients. Risk of bias was assessed using quadas-2. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were calculated using bivariate meta-analysis. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were used to find source of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 40 studies were eventually selected for inclusion in this meta-analysis, including 33 for presepsin and seven for MR-proADM. Presepsin had a sensitivity of 0.86 (0.82-0.90), a specificity of 0.79 (0.71-0.85), and an AUC of 0.90 (0.87-0.92). The sensitivity of MR-proADM was 0.84 (0.78-0.88), specificity was 0.86 (0.79-0.91), and AUC was 0.91 (0.88-0.93). The profile of control group, population, and standard reference may be potential sources of heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrated that presepsin and MR-proADM exhibited high accuracy (AUC ≥ 0.90) in the diagnosis of sepsis in adults, with MR-proADM showing significantly higher accuracy than presepsin.

Abstract
Background Predicting the risk of readmission or death in patients at the emergency department (ED) is essential in identifying patients who would benefit the most from interventions. We aimed to explore the prognostic value of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), copeptin, and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) to identify patients with a higher risk of readmission and death among patients presenting with chest pain (CP) and/or shortness of breath (SOB) in the ED. Methods This single-center prospective observational study included non-critically ill adult patients with a chief complaint of CP and/or SOB who visited the ED at Linköping University Hospital. Baseline data and blood samples were collected, and patients were followed up for 90 days after inclusion. The primary outcome was a composite of readmission and/or death from non-traumatic causes within 90 days of inclusion. Binary logistic regression was used and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were constructed to determine the prognostic performance for predicting readmission and/or death within 90 days. Results A total of 313 patients were included and 64 (20.4%) met the primary endpoint. MR-proADM > 0.75 pmol/L (odds ratio [OR]: 2.361 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.031 - 5.407], P = 0.042) and multimorbidity (OR: 2.647 [95% CI: 1.282 - 5.469], P = 0.009) were significantly associated with readmission and/or death within 90 days. MR-proADM increased predictive value in the ROC analysis to age, sex, and multimorbidity (P = 0.006). Conclusions In non-critically ill patients with CP and/or SOB in the ED, MR-proADM and multimorbidity may be helpful for the prediction of the risk of readmission and/or death within 90 days.

Abstract
Background Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), an endothelium-related peptide, is a predictor of death and multi-organ failure in respiratory infections and sepsis and seems to be effective in identifying COVID-19 severe forms. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MR-proADM in comparison to routine inflammatory biomarkers, lymphocyte subpopulations, and immunoglobulin (Ig) at an intensive care unit (ICU) admission and over time in predicting mortality in patients with severe COVID-19. Methods All adult patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted between March 2020 and June 2021 in the ICUs of a university hospital in Italy were enrolled. MR-proADM, lymphocyte subpopulations, Ig, and routine laboratory tests were measured within 48 h and on days 3 and 7. The log-rank test was used to compare survival curves with MR-proADM cutoff value of >1.5 nmol/L. Predictive ability was compared using the area under the curve (AUC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of different receiver-operating characteristic curves. Results A total of 209 patients, with high clinical severity [SOFA 7, IQR 4-9; SAPS II 52, IQR 41-59; median viral pneumonia mortality score (MuLBSTA)-11, IQR 9-13] were enrolled. ICU and overall mortality were 55.5 and 60.8%, respectively. Procalcitonin, lactate dehydrogenase, D-dimer, the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, troponin, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and natural killer lymphocyte count were significantly different between survivors and non-survivors, while lymphocyte subpopulations and Ig were not different in the two groups. MR-proADM was significantly higher in non-survivors (1.17 ± 0.73 vs. 2.31 ± 2.63, p < 0.0001). A value of >1.5 nmol/L was an independent risk factor for mortality at day 28 [odds ratio of 1.9 (95% CI: 1.220-3.060)] after adjusting for age, lactate at admission, SOFA, MuLBSTA, superinfections, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease. On days 3 and 7 of the ICU stay, the MR-proADM trend evaluated within 48 h of admission maintained a correlation with mortality (p < 0.0001). Compared to all other biomarkers considered, the MR-proADM value within 48 h had the best accuracy in predicting mortality at day 28 [AUC = 0.695 (95% CI: 0.624-0.759)]. Conclusion MR-proADM seems to be the best biomarker for the stratification of mortality risk in critically ill patients with COVID-19. The Ig levels and lymphocyte subpopulations (except for natural killers) seem not to be correlated with mortality. Larger, multicentric studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background Mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a biomarker released following endothelial damage. Studies have shown a correlation in predicting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes with MR-proADM levels. Our study aimed to investigate baseline MR-proADM as a predictor of a wider range of clinical outcomes of varying severity in patients admitted with COVID-19, and to compare to other biomarkers. Methods Data from the Boston Area COVID-19 Consortium (BACC) Bay Tocilizumab Trial was used in this study. Patients with biomarker determinations, and not admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) on admission, were included. MR-proADM cutoff of 0.87 nmol/L was assessed in predicting clinical outcomes. Results Of 182 patients, 11.0% were mechanically ventilated or dead within 28 days. Of patients with MR-proADM >0.87 nmol/L, 21.1% were mechanically ventilated or dead within 28 days, compared with 4.5% of those with MR-proADM ≤0.87 nmol/L (P < .001). The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value of MR-proADM cutoff of 0.87 nmol/L in predicting mechanical ventilation or death were 75%, 65%, 95%, and 21%, respectively, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.76. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, MR-proADM >0.87 nmol/L was independently associated with mechanical ventilation or death, ICU admission, prolonged hospitalization beyond day 4, and day 4 COVID-19 ordinal scale equal to or worse than day 1. Conclusions MR-proADM functions as a valuable biomarker for the early risk stratification and detection of severe disease progression of patients with COVID-19. In the prediction of death, MR-proADM performed better compared to many other commonly used biomarkers.

Abstract
Mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a new biomarker of endothelial damage and its clinical use is increasing in sepsis and respiratory infections and recently in SARS-CoV-2 infection. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the use of MR-proADM in severe COVID-19 disease. After Pubmed, Embase, and Scopus search, registries, and gray literature, deduplication, and selection of full-texts, we found 21 studies addressing the use of proadrenomedullin in COVID-19. All the studies were published between 2020 and 2022 from European countries. A total of 9 studies enrolled Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients, 4 were conducted in the Emergency Department, and 8 had mixed populations. Regarding the ICU critically ill patients, 4 studies evaluating survival as primary outcome were available, of which 3 reported completed data. Combining the selected studies in a meta-analysis, a total of 252 patients were enrolled; of these, 182 were survivors and 70 were non-survivors. At the admission to the ICU, the average MR-proADM level in survivor patients was 1.01 versus 1.64 in non-survivor patients. The mean differences of MR-proADM values in survivors vs. non-survivors was −0.96 (95% CI from −1.26, to −0.65). Test for overall effect: Z = 6.19 (p < 0.00001) and heterogeneity was I2 = 0%. MR-proADM ICU admission levels seem to predict mortality among the critical COVID-19 population. Further, prospective studies, focused on critically ill patients and investigating a reliable MR-proADM cut-off, are needed to provide adequate guidance to its use in severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Coagulopathy and immune dysregulation have been identified as important causes of adverse outcomes in coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Mid-region proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is associated with endothelial damage and has recently been proposed as a prognostic factor in COVID-19. In non-COVID-19 immunocompromised patients, low in vitro interferon gamma (IFNγ) production correlates with infection risk and mortality. This prospective, monocentric, observational study included adult patients consecutively admitted with radiologic evidence of COVID-19 pneumonia and respiratory failure. MR-proADM and in vitro IFNγ production were measured at T0 (day 1 from admission) and T1 (day 7 from enrollment). One hundred patients were enrolled. Thirty-six percent were females, median age 65 (Q1−Q3 54.5−75) years, and 58% had ≥1 comorbidity. Only 16 patients had received COVID-19 vaccination before hospitalization. At admission, the median PaO2:FiO2 ratio was 241 (157−309) mmHg. In-hospital mortality was 13%. MR-proADM levels differed significantly between deceased and survivors both at T0 (1.41 (1.12−1.77) nmol/L vs. 0.79 (0.63−1.03) nmol/L, p < 0.001) and T1 (1.67 (1.08−1.96) nmol/L vs. 0.66 (0.53−0.95) nmol/L, p < 0.001). In vitro IFNγ production at T0 and T1 did not vary between groups. When only the subset of non-vaccinated patients was considered, both biomarkers at T1 resulted significantly associated with in-hospital mortality. AUROC for MR-proADM at T0 to predict in-hospital mortality was 0.87 (95%CI 0.79−0.94), with the best cut-off point at 1.04 nmol/L (92% sensitivity, 75% specificity and 98% negative predictive value). In patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and different degrees of respiratory failure, MR-proADM at admission and during hospitalization resulted strongly associated with in-hospital mortality. Low in vitro IFNγ production after the first week of hospitalization was associated with mortality in non-vaccinated patients possibly identifying the subgroup characterized by a higher degree of immune suppression.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: the cardiovascular adverse events including mortality and heart failure, persist significantly during the first months after the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The increased level of midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), at hospital presentation in STEMI patients is considered an independent predictor of short-term and long-term mortality and heart failure. This study aimed to measure MR-proADM levels during the acute and recovery phases of STEMI and corroborate whether MR-proADM level was associated with the adverse cardiac events after recovering from STEMI. Materials and Methods: this prospective study enrolled subjects with acute phase STEMI admitted to the intensive cardiac care unit. After recovering and discharged from hospitalization, subjects were followed-up for 90 days. For MR-proADM measurement, the blood samples during acute phase were withdrawn on hospital admission (MR-proADM-0) and during recovery at the day-30 follow up (MR-proADM-30). Adverse cardiac events were evaluated at 30-day and 90-day follow up, namely a composite of death, chronic heart failure, and hospital readmission of any cardiac causes. Results: 83 subjects were enrolled. The median MR-proADM-0 was 3313.33 pg/mL and MR-proADM-30 was significantly reduced at 292.50 pg/mL, p < 0.001. Nineteen subjects (22.9%) experienced adverse cardiac events at 30-day follow up. The MR-proADM-0 level was independently associated with 30-day adverse cardiac events (adjustedOR 1.002, 95%CI: 1.001−1.003, p = 0.040), after adjustment with other variables. In this case, 25 subjects (32.5%) experienced adverse cardiac events at 90-day follow-up. The MR-proADM-0 level was independently associated with 90-day adverse cardiac events (adjustedOR 1.002, 95%CI: 1.001−1.003, p = 0.049). The higher changes of MR-proADM-0 to MR-proADM-30 also associated with adverse cardiac events at 90 days. Conclusions: The MR-proADM was significantly increased during the acute phase of STEMI and declined during recovery phase. The higher MR-proADM level during the acute phase of STEMI and its change intensity were predictors of adverse cardiac events within the 90-day follow up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most critical decisions that emergency department (ED) physicians make is the discharge versus admission of patients. We aimed to study the association of the decision in the ED to admit patients with chest pain and/or breathlessness to a ward with risk assessment using the Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System (RETTS), the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and plasma levels of the biomarkers copeptin, midregional proadrenomedulin (MR-proADM), and midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP). METHODS Patients presenting at the ED with chest pain and/or breathlessness with less than one week onset were enrolled. Patients were triaged according to RETTS. NEWS was calculated from the vital signs retrospectively. RESULTS Three hundred and thirty-four patients (167 males), mean age 63.8 ± 16.8 years, were included. Of which, 210 (62.8%) patients complained of chest pain, 65 (19.5%) of breathlessness, and 59 (17.7%) of both. Of these, 176 (52.7%) patients were admitted to a ward, and 158 (47.3%) patients were discharged from the ED. In binary logistic models, age, gender, vital signs (O2 saturation and heart rate), NEWS class, and copeptin were associated with admission to a ward from the ED. In receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) analysis, copeptin had an incremental predictive value compared to NEWS alone (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Emergency physicians' decisions to admit patients with chest pain and/or breathlessness from the ED to a ward are related to age, O2 saturation, heart rate, NEWS category, and copeptin. As an independent predictive marker for admission, early analysis of copeptin might be beneficial when improving patient pathways at the ED.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction, a major complication of SARS-CoV-2 infectionplaying a key-role in multi-organ damage, carries high risk of mortality. AIM To investigate the potential role of Mid-Regional pro-Adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in detecting endothelial damage with a view to stratifying the risk of adverse events (length of stay, death, admission in Intensive Care Unit) and/or disease resolution. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 135 consecutive patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, MR-proADM was measured in EDTA-K2 plasma samples using B.R.A.H.M.S. KRYPTOR® COMPACT Plus method (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hennigsdorf, Germany) RESULTS: Patients were subdivided into three groups based on their MR-proADM value (nmol/L): 1 (n = 20, MR-proADM ≤ 0.55); 2 (n = 82, 0.55 < MR-proADM ≤ 1.50); 3 (n = 33, MR-proADM > 1.50). The higher the MR-proADM value, the greater the patients' age, the more frequent the occurrence of pneumonia, the requiring of more aggressive treatment, the longer the hospitalization and the more frequent a fatal event. Significant differences were found between the three groups for MR-proADM, White-blood cell count, Neutrophil count, D-dimer, C-reactive Protein, Procalcitonin and hs-Troponin I. At logistic regression,it was found that MR-proADM and Log10D-dimer were the most significant predictors of adverse events. CONCLUSION The findings made in the present study highlight the relevance of MR-proADM values in providing clinically useful information, particularly for stratifying COVID-19 patients according to the risk of a more severe form of disease and to the development of adverse events.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock represent a leading cause of mortality in the Emergency Department (ED) and in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). For these life-threating conditions, different diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers have been studied. Proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a biomarker that can predict organ damage and the risk of imminent death in patients with septic shock, as shown by a large amount of data in the literature. The aim of our narrative review is to evaluate the role of MR-proADM in the context of Emergency Medicine and to summarize the current knowledge of MR-proADM as a serum indicator that is useful in the Emergency Department (ED) to determine an early diagnosis and to predict the long-term mortality of patients with sepsis and septic shock. We performed an electronic literature review to investigate the role of MR-proADM in sepsis and septic shock in the context of ED. We searched papers on PubMed®, Cochrane®, UptoDate®, and Web of Science® that had been published in the last 10 years. Data extracted from this literature review are not conclusive, but they show that MR-proADM may be helpful as a prognostic biomarker to stratify the mortality risk in cases of sepsis and septic shock with different degrees of organ damage, guiding emergency physicians in the diagnosis and the succeeding therapeutic workup. Sepsis and septic shock are conditions of high complexity and have a high risk of mortality. In the ED, early diagnosis is crucial in order to provide an early treatment and to improve patient survival. Diagnosis and prognosis are often the result of a combination of several tests. In our opinion, testing for MR-proADM directly in the ED could contribute to improving the prognostic assessment of patients, facilitating the subsequent clinical management and intensive treatment by the emergency physicians, but more studies are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Purpose We assessed the ability of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and C-terminal proendothelin-1 (CT-proET-1) to predict 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia. Methods Biomarkers were collected during the first seven days in this prospective observational cohort study. We investigated the relationship between biomarkers and mortality in a multivariable Cox regression model adjusted for age and SOFA score. Results In 105 critically ill patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia 28-day mortality was 28.6%. MR-proADM and CT-proET-1 were significantly higher in 28-day non-survivors at baseline and over time. ROC curves revealed high accuracy to identify non-survivors for baseline MR-proADM and CT-proET-1, AUC 0.84, (95% CI 0.76–0.92), p < 0.001 and 0.79, (95% CI 0.69–0.89), p < 0.001, respectively. The AUC for prediction of 28-day mortality for MR-proADM and CT-proET-1 remained high over time. MR-proADM ≥1.57 nmol/L and CT-proET-1 ≥ 111 pmol/L at baseline were significant predictors for 28-day mortality (HR 6.80, 95% CI 3.12–14.84, p < 0.001 and HR 3.72, 95% CI 1.71–8.08, p 0.01). Conclusion Baseline and serial MR-proADM and CT-proET-1 had good ability to predict 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The midregional fragment of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is known to provide accurate short-, mid- and long term prognostic information in the triage and multi-dimensional risk assessment of patients in the emergency department (ED). In two independent observational cohorts MR-proADM values identified low disease severity patients without risk of disease progression in the ED with no 28 days mortality that wouldn´t require hospitalization. In this interventional study we want to show that the combination of an MR-proADM algorithm with clinical assessment is able to identify low risk patients not requiring hospitalization to safely reduce the number of hospital admissions. METHODS A randomized-controlled interventional multicenter study in 4 EDs in Spain. The study protocol was approved by Ethics Committees. Control arm patients received Standard Care. MR-proADM guided arm patients with low MR-proADM value (≤0.87 nmol/L) were treated as out-patients, with high MR-proADM value (>0.87 nmol/L) were hospitalized. The hospitalization rate was compared between the study arms. RESULTS Two hundred patients with suspicion of infection were enrolled. In the MR-proADM guided arm the hospital admission rate in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population was 17% lower than in the control arm (40.6% vs. 57.6%, p=0.024) and 20% lower in the per protocol (PP) population (37.2% vs. 57.6%, p=0.009). No deaths of out-patients and no significant difference for the safety endpoints readmission and representation rates were observed. The readmission rate was only slightly higher in the MR-proADM guided arm compared to the control arm (PP population: at 14 days 9.3% vs. 7.1%, difference 2.1% (95% CI: -11.0% to 15.2%); and at 28 days 11.1% vs. 9.5%, difference 1.6% (95% CI: -12.2% to 15.4%)). The rate of 28 days representation was slightly lower in the MR-proADM guided arm compared to the control arm (20.4% vs. 26.2%, difference -5.8% (95% CI: -25.0% to 13.4%); PP population). CONCLUSIONS Implementing a MR-proADM algorithm optimizes ED workflows efficiently and sustainably. Hospitals can highly benefit from a reduced rate of hospitalizations by 20% using MR-proADM. The safety in the MR-proADM guided study arm was similar to the Standard Care arm. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03770533.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study was to assess the role of midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in patients with COVID-19. Methods We included 110 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Biochemical biomarkers, including MR-proADM, were measured at admission. The association of plasma MR-proADM levels with COVID-19 severity, defined as a requirement for mechanical ventilation or in-hospital mortality, was evaluated. Results Patients showed increased levels of MR-proADM. In addition, MR-proADM was higher in patients who died during hospitalization than in patients who survived (median, 2.59 nmol/L; interquartile range, 2.3–2.95 vs median, 0.82 nmol/L; interquartile range, 0.57–1.03; P <.0001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed good accuracy of MR-proADM for predicting mortality. A MR-proADM value of 1.73 nmol/L was established as the best cutoff value, with 90% sensitivity and 95% specificity (P <.0001). Conclusion We found that MR-proADM could represent a prognostic biomarker of COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND About 20% of ICU patients with COVID-19 require renal replacement therapy (RRT). Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) might be used for risk assessment. This study investigates MR-proADM for RRT prediction in ICU patients with COVID-19. METHODS We analysed data of consecutive patients with COVID-19, requiring ICU admission at a university hospital in Germany between March and September 2020. Clinical characteristics, details on AKI, and RRT were assessed. MR-proADM was measured on admission. RESULTS 64 patients were included (49 (77%) males). Median age was 62.5y (54-73). 47 (73%) patients were ventilated and 50 (78%) needed vasopressors. 25 (39%) patients had severe ARDS, and 10 patients needed veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. 29 (45%) patients required RRT; median time from admission to RRT start was 2 (1-9) days. MR-proADM on admission was higher in the RRT group (2.491 vs. 1.23 nmol/l; p = 0.002) and showed the highest correlation with renalSOFA. ROC curve analysis showed that MR-proADM predicts RRT with an AUC of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.543-0.828; p = 0.019). In multivariable logistic regression MR-proADM was an independent predictor (OR: 3.813, 95% CI 1.110-13.102, p<0.05) for RRT requirement. CONCLUSION AKI requiring RRT is frequent in ICU patients with COVID-19. MR-proADM on admission was able to predict RRT requirement, which may be of interest for risk stratification and management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), a novel biomarker, has recently gained interest particularly with regards to its potential in assisting clinicians' decision making in patients with suspicion of infection in the emergency department (ED). A group of international experts, with research and experience in MR-proADM applications, produced this review based on their own experience and the currently available literature. AREAS COVERED The review provides evidence related to MR-proADM as a triaging tool in avoiding unnecessary admissions to hospital and/or inadequate discharge, and identifying patients most at risk of deterioration. It also covers the use of MR-proADM in the context of COVID-19. Moreover, the authors provide a proposal on how to incorporate MR-proADM into patients' clinical pathways in an ED setting. EXPERT OPINION The data we have so far on the application of MR-proADM in the ED is promising. Incorporating it into clinical scoring systems may aid the clinician's decision making and recognizing the 'ill looking well' and the 'well looking ill' sooner. However there are still many gaps in our knowledge especially during the ongoing COVID-19 waves. There is also a need for cost-effectiveness analysis studies especially in the era of increasing cost pressures on health systems globally.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Risk stratification in patients with infection is usually based on the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment-Score (SOFA score). Our aim was to investigate whether the vasoactive peptide mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) improves the predictive value of the SOFA score for 30-day mortality in patients with acute infection presenting to the emergency department (ED). METHODS This secondary analysis of the prospective observational TRIAGE study included 657 patients with infection. The SOFA score, MR-proADM, and traditional inflammation markers were all measured at time of admission. Associations of admission parameters and 30-day mortality were investigated by measures of logistic regression, discrimination analyses, net reclassification index (NRI), and integrated discrimination index (IDI). RESULTS MR-proADM values were higher in non-survivors compared with survivors (4.5±3.5 nmol/L vs. 1.7 ± 1.8 nmol/L) with an adjusted odds ratio of 26.6 (95% CI 3.92 to 180.61, p=0.001) per 1 nmol/L increase in admission MR-proADM levels and an area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) of 0.86. While the SOFA score alone revealed an AUC of 0.81, adding MR-proADM further improved discrimination (AUC 0.87) and classification within predefined risk categories (NRI 0.075, p-value <0.05). An admission MR-proADM threshold of 1.75 nmol/L provided the best prognostic accuracy for 30-day mortality; with a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 75%, and a negative predictive value of 98%. CONCLUSIONS MR-proADM improved the mortality risk stratification in patients with infection presenting to the ED beyond SOFA score alone and may further improve initial therapeutic site-of-care decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma biomarkers may be useful to detect healthy individuals at increased risk for atherosclerotic manifestations, such as carotid artery stenosis. The aim of this longitudinal cohort study was to evaluate new biomarkers in relation to C-reactive protein and conventional risk factors for carotid artery stenosis during long term follow-up METHODS: The following markers were measured in 5550 middle-aged subjects: C-reactive protein, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, proneurotensin, midregional pro-adrenomedullin, midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide, copeptin, and cystatin C. Subjects with prevalent carotid artery stenosis were excluded. Subjects were followed in national patient registers for 23.4 (interquartile range 19.5-24.3) years regarding incident carotid artery stenosis, both operated and non-operated. RESULTS When including conventional risk markers in Cox regression, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (Hazard ratio 1.36; 95% confidence interval 1.12-1.65; p = 0.002) was independently associated with incident carotid artery stenosis, whereas there were trends for C-reactive protein (HR 1.20; 95% confidence interval 0.98-1.48; p = 0.071), and midregional pro-adrenomedullin (Hazard ratio 1.21; 95% confidence interval 0.99-1.47; p = 0.061). Midregional pro-adrenomedullin (Hazard ratio 1.30; 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.65; p = 0.029) was independently associated with incident surgery for carotid artery stenosis, whereas there was a trend for N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (Hazard ratio 1.31; 95% confidence interval 1.00-1.72; p = 0.052). CONCLUSIONS N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide and midregional pro-adrenomedullin can be used as predictors for clinically detected carotid artery stenosis during long-term follow-up of healthy subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide levels have been associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). However, less is known about other cardiac stress biomarkers in this context. Here we evaluated the association of mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), C-terminal pro-arginine vasopressin (copeptin), C-terminal pro-endothelin-1 (CT-proET-1) and mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) with incident T2D and changes in glucose metabolism. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study using data from the population-based KORA F4/FF4 study. 1773 participants (52.3% women) with MR-proANP measurements and 960 (52.7% women) with copeptin, CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM measurements were included. We examined associations of circulating plasma levels of MR-proANP, copeptin, CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM with incident T2D, the combined endpoint of incident prediabetes/T2D and with fasting and 2 h-glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B and HbA1c at follow-up. Logistic and linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, waist circumference, height, hypertension, total/HDL cholesterol ratio, triglycerides, smoking, physical activity and parental history of diabetes were used to compute effect estimates. RESULTS During a median follow-up time of 6.4 years (25th and 75th percentiles: 6.0 and 6.6, respectively), 119 out of the 1773 participants and 72 out of the 960 participants developed T2D. MR-proANP was inversely associated with incident T2D (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.75 [0.58; 0.96] per 1-SD increase of log MR-proANP). Copeptin was positively associated with incident prediabetes/T2D (1.29 [1.02; 1.63] per 1-SD increase of log copeptin). Elevated levels of CT-proET-1 were associated with increased HOMA-B at follow-up, while elevated MR-proADM levels were associated with increased fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and HOMA-B at follow-up. These associations were independent of previously described diabetes risk factors. CONCLUSIONS High plasma concentrations of MR-proANP contributed to a lower risk of incident T2D, whereas high plasma concentrations of copeptin were associated with an increased risk of incident prediabetes/T2D. Furthermore, high plasma concentrations of CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM were associated with increased insulin resistance. Our study provides evidence that biomarkers implicated in cardiac stress are associated with incident T2D and changes in glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether plasma midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) reflected body composition, such as body mass index (BMI), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), VAT/SAT ratio, body fat mass (BFM), and skeletal muscle mass (SMM). Methods: A total of 2244 individuals (727 men and 1517 women) were included in the study. Multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the combined influence of variables: age, daily alcohol consumption, Brinkman index, sleeping time, metabolic equivalents, anamnesis for hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and body composition of MR-proADM, by using a stepwise forward selection method. Results: MR-proADM was significantly related to all anthropometric indices (BMI, VAT, SAT, VAT/SAT ratio, BFM, and SMM) in men and women. On the basis of a stepwise forward selection method, VAT (men: beta = 0.184, p < 0.001, women: beta = 0.203, p < 0.001) and BFM (beta = 0.181, p < 0.001) in women, were found to be significantly associated with MR-proADM. Conclusion: This study suggests that plasma MR-proADM concentration is a more reliable indicator of VAT for fat distribution, and thus, MR-proADM may help better understand the obesity paradox. Changes in circulating levels of MR-proADM could possibly reflect changes in body composition, endocrine, and metabolic milieu.

Abstract
Background: For many biomarkers in cardiac surgery, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the normal dynamics of plasma levels during the perioperative course. The aim of this study was to investigate the perioperative dynamics of MR-proADM, MR-proANP, hs-CRP and sP-selectin in cardiac surgery.Method: A prospective observational pilot study with 20 patients scheduled for open cardiac surgery procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Plasma samples were taken for each patient and biomarker during the pre-, per- and postoperative period until Day 6 postoperatively.Results: MR-proADM increased significantly from 0.62 [IQR; 0.54-0.93] nmol/L preoperatively to 1.20 [1.04-1.80] nmol/L postoperative Day 1. MR-proANP increased significantly from 125 [77-152] pmol/L preoperatively to 198 [168-307] pmol/L on weaning from CPB. hs-CRP increased significantly from 2.5 mg/L [0.4-12] preoperatively to peak at 208 mg/L [186-239] postoperative Day 3. The preoperative level of sP-selectin at 23.0 [21.3-26.3] ng/mL initially fell at weaning from CPB, followed by a significant peak of 25.5 [22.7-27.7] ng/mL 8 h postoperatively.Conclusions: The findings in this study may help to understand the physiology of the biomarkers analysed and their response to cardiac surgical trauma including CPB. Furthermore, these findings will guide us in further research on the clinical usefulness of these biomarkers.

Abstract
AIMS The performance of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in diagnosing acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) among patients presenting with breathlessness is markedly impaired in the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and cardiac troponin T as possible alternative markers for discrimination of ADHF in this setting. METHODS AND RESULTS Breathless patients (n = 1107) were prospectively and contemporaneously recruited in emergency departments in Singapore and New Zealand. The diagnoses of ADHF and presence of AF were adjudicated by two clinician specialists, blinded to MR-proADM, NT-proBNP and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) results. MR-proADM exhibited strong discrimination of ADHF with little change in performance irrespective of the presence of AF (area under the curve 0.83 in non-AF vs. 0.76 in AF) compared to NT-proBNP (0.91 vs. 0.71) and hs-cTnT (0.83 vs. 0.62), respectively. The accuracy of MR-proADM (73.3%) for diagnosing ADHF among patients with AF was superior to both NT-proBNP (61.6%) and hs-cTnT (64.6%). The superior performance of MR-proADM remained apparent when data from Singapore and New Zealand were analysed separately. CONCLUSION In the presence of AF, MR-proADM showed greater discrimination and accuracy, and less impairment in performance compared to that in non-AF cases, for the diagnosis of ADHF, compared to the guideline-endorsed NT-proBNP.

Abstract
Background Mortality risk and outcome in critically ill patients can be predicted by scoring systems, such as APACHE and SAPS. The identification of prognostic biomarkers, simple to measure upon admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) is an open issue. The aim of this observational study was to assess the prognostic value of plasma mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) at ICU admission in non-selected patients in comparison to Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHEII) and Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPSII) scores. Methods APACHEII and SAPSII scores were calculated after 24 h from ICU admission. Plasma MR-proADM levels were measured by TRACE-Kryptor on admission (T0) and after 24 h (T24). The primary endpoint was intra-hospital mortality; secondary endpoint was length of stay (LOS). Results One hundred and twenty-six consecutive non-selected patients admitted to an ICU were enrolled. Plasma MR-proADM levels were correlated with LOS (r=0.28; p=0.0014 at T0; r=0.26; p=0.005 at T24). Multivariate analysis showed that T0 MR-proADM was a significant predictor of mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 1.27; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.03-1.55; p=0.022). Receiver operating characteristic curves analysis revealed that MR-proADM on ICU admission identified non-survivors with high accuracy, not inferior to the one of APACHEII and SAPSII scores (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.71; 95%CI: 0.62-0.78; p=0.0002 for MR-proADM; AUC: 0.71; 95%CI: 0.62-0.79; p<0.0001 for APACHEII; AUC: 0.8; 95%CI: 0.71-0.87; p<0.0001 for SAPSII). Conclusions Our findings point out a role of MR-proADM as a prognostic tool in non-selected patients in ICUs being a reliable predictor of mortality and LOS and support its use on admission to an ICU to help the management of critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The performance of blood biomarkers (mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate) and clinical scores (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and quick SOFA) was compared to identify patient populations at risk of delayed treatment initiation and disease progression after presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a suspected infection. METHODS A prospective observational study across three EDs. Biomarker and clinical score values were calculated upon presentation and 72 h, and logistic and Cox regression used to assess the strength of association. Primary outcomes comprised of 28-day mortality prediction and delayed antibiotic administration or intensive care (ICU) admission, whilst secondary outcomes identified subsequent disease progression. RESULTS Six hundred eighty-four patients were enrolled with hospitalisation, ICU admission, and infection-related 28-day mortality rates of 72.8%, 3.4%, and 4.4%, respectively. MR-proADM and NEWS had the strongest association with hospitalisation and the requirement for antibiotic administration, whereas MR-proADM alone had the strongest association with ICU admission (OR [95% CI]: 5.8 [3.1 - 10.8]) and mortality (HR [95% CI]: 3.8 [2.2 - 6.5]). Patient subgroups with high MR-proADM concentrations (≥ 1.77 nmol/L) and low NEWS (< 5 points) values had significantly higher rates of ICU admission (8.1% vs 1.6%; p < 0.001), hospital readmission (18.9% vs. 5.9%; p < 0.001), infection-related mortality (13.5% vs. 0.2%; p < 0.001), and disease progression (29.7% vs. 4.9%; p < 0.001) than corresponding patients with low MR-proADM concentrations. ICU admission was delayed by 1.5 [0.25 - 5.0] days in patients with high MR-proADM and low NEWS values compared to corresponding patients with high NEWS values, despite similar 28-day mortality rates (13.5% vs. 16.5%). Antibiotics were withheld in 17.4% of patients with high MR-proADM and low NEWS values, with higher subsequent rates of ICU admission (27.3% vs. 4.8%) and infection-related hospital readmission (54.5% vs. 14.3%) compared to those administered antibiotics during ED treatment. CONCLUSIONS Patients with low severity signs of infection but high MR-proADM concentrations had an increased likelihood of subsequent disease progression, delayed antibiotic administration or ICU admission. Appropriate triage decisions and the rapid use of antibiotics in patients with high MR-proADM concentrations may constitute initial steps in escalating or intensifying early treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is emerging as a prognostic biomarker for detecting the failure of multiple organs. Establishment of scientifically robust reference intervals facilitates interpretation of laboratory test results. The objectives of this study were (i) to establish reliable reference intervals for plasma MR-proADM using a commercially available automated fluoroimmunoassay in apparently healthy individuals, and (ii) to identify biological determinants of MR-proADM concentrations. METHODS A total of 506 questionnaire-identified apparently healthy adults were enrolled in a single-center, cross-sectional study. A final reference group (n=172) was selected after exclusion of obese individuals, those with increased values of laboratory biomarkers indicating asymptomatic myocardial injury or dysfunction, ongoing inflammation, diabetes, dyslipidemia and renal dysfunction and outliers. RESULTS The 2.5th and 97.5th percentile intervals for MR-proADM values in the reference group (90% confidence interval) were 0.21 (0.19-0.23) and 0.57 (0.55-0.59) nmol/L, respectively. Although older age, higher values of HbA1c, C-reactive protein, B-type natriuretic peptide and body mass index, together with a history of smoking and a decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate were significantly associated with increasing concentrations of MR-proADM in both univariate and multivariate analyses, magnitudes of these relationships were modest and did not substantially influence MR-proADM reference intervals. Sex-dependent difference in MR-proADM reference intervals was not detected [0.19 (0.16-0.22)-0.56 (0.54-0.60) nmol/L in females vs. 0.22 (0.20-0.25)-0.58 (0.57-0.63) nmol/L in males]. CONCLUSIONS Our study successfully established robust reference intervals for MR-proADM concentrations in plasma. Considering the negligible influence of potential biological determinants on plasma MR-proADM, we recommend the adoption of single reference intervals for adult population as a whole.

Abstract
Background There is a lack of validated tools to assess potential disease progression and hospitalisation decisions in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a suspected infection. This study aimed to identify suitable blood biomarkers (MR-proADM, PCT, lactate and CRP) or clinical scores (SIRS, SOFA, qSOFA, NEWS and CRB-65) to fulfil this unmet clinical need. Methods An observational derivation patient cohort validated by an independent secondary analysis across nine EDs. Logistic and Cox regression, area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess performance. Disease progression was identified using a composite endpoint of 28-day mortality, ICU admission and hospitalisation > 10 days. Results One thousand one hundred seventy-five derivation and 896 validation patients were analysed with respective 28-day mortality rates of 7.1% and 5.0%, and hospitalisation rates of 77.9% and 76.2%. MR-proADM showed greatest accuracy in predicting 28-day mortality and hospitalisation requirement across both cohorts. Patient subgroups with high MR-proADM concentrations (≥ 1.54 nmol/L) and low biomarker (PCT < 0.25 ng/mL, lactate < 2.0 mmol/L or CRP < 67 mg/L) or clinical score (SOFA < 2 points, qSOFA < 2 points, NEWS < 4 points or CRB-65 < 2 points) values were characterised by a significantly longer length of hospitalisation (p < 0.001), rate of ICU admission (p < 0.001), elevated mortality risk (e.g. SOFA, qSOFA and NEWS HR [95%CI], 45.5 [10.0–207.6], 23.4 [11.1–49.3] and 32.6 [9.4–113.6], respectively) and a greater number of disease progression events (p < 0.001), compared to similar subgroups with low MR-proADM concentrations (< 1.54 nmol/L). Increased out-patient treatment across both cohorts could be facilitated using a derivation-derived MR-proADM cut-off of < 0.87 nmol/L (15.0% and 16.6%), with decreased readmission rates and no mortalities. Conclusions In patients presenting to the ED with a suspected infection, the blood biomarker MR-proADM could most accurately identify the likelihood of further disease progression. Incorporation into an early sepsis management protocol may therefore aid rapid decision-making in order to either initiate, escalate or intensify early treatment strategies, or identify patients suitable for safe out-patient treatment.

Abstract
Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) induces reverse cardiac remodelling in heart failure (HF), but many patients receiving CRT remain non-responders. This study assessed the role of amino-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mid-regional-pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), and mid-regional-pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) at the time of device implantation to predict favourable clinical course (CRT response and/or risk of MACE) in HF patients receiving CRT. Methods and results A total of 137 HF patients were prospectively included. Blood was drawn from the coronary sinus (CS) at CRT implantation, and from a peripheral vein (PV) simultaneously and after 6 months. Clinical CRT response at 6 months and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 2 years were assessed. Baseline PV-levels of MR-proANP (202 vs. 318 pmol/L, P = 0.009) and MR-proADM (843 vs. 1112 pmol/L, P = 0.02) were lower in CRT responders compared with non-responders. At 6 months, CRT responders showed a decrease in MR-proANP levels, compared with an increase in non-responders (-32 vs. +7 pmol/L, P = 0.02). During the same period, NT-proBNP decreased by a similar way in responders and non-responders, while MR-proADM was unchanged in both groups. High baseline MR-proANP, either in PV (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.24-0.71, P = 0.002) or CS (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.15-0.70, P = 0.005) was associated with reduced likelihood of CRT response. Furthermore, PV and CS levels of NT-proBNP, MR-proANP, and MR-proADM were all associated with increased risk of 2-year MACE (all P < 0.01). Conclusion Mid-regional-pro-atrial natriuretic peptide may assist prediction of clinical course in HF patients undergoing CRT implantation. Low circulating MR-proANP at the time of device implantation is associated with CRT response and more favourable outcome.

Abstract
Background This study assessed the ability of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in comparison to conventional biomarkers (procalcitonin (PCT), lactate, C-reactive protein) and clinical scores to identify disease severity in patients with sepsis. Methods This is a secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock across 33 German intensive care units. The association between biomarkers and clinical scores with mortality was assessed by Cox regression analysis, area under the receiver operating characteristic and Kaplan-Meier curves. Patients were stratified into three severity groups (low, intermediate, high) for all biomarkers and scores based on cutoffs with either a 90% sensitivity or specificity. Results 1089 patients with a 28-day mortality rate of 26.9% were analysed. According to the Sepsis-3 definition, 41.2% and 58.8% fulfilled the criteria for sepsis and septic shock, with respective mortality rates of 20.0% and 32.1%. MR-proADM had the strongest association with mortality across all Sepsis-1 and Sepsis-3 subgroups and could facilitate a more accurate classification of low (e.g. MR-proADM vs. SOFA: N = 265 vs. 232; 9.8% vs. 13.8% mortality) and high (e.g. MR-proADM vs. SOFA: N = 161 vs. 155; 55.9% vs. 41.3% mortality) disease severity. Patients with decreasing PCT concentrations of either ≥ 20% (baseline to day 1) or ≥ 50% (baseline to day 4) but continuously high MR-proADM concentrations had a significantly increased mortality risk (HR (95% CI): 19.1 (8.0–45.9) and 43.1 (10.1–184.0)). Conclusions MR-proADM identifies disease severity and treatment response more accurately than established biomarkers and scores, adding additional information to facilitate rapid clinical decision-making and improve personalised sepsis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of novel sepsis biomarkers has increased in recent years. However, their prognostic value with respect to illness severity has not been explored. In this work, we examined the ability of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in predicting mortality in sepsis patients with different degrees of organ failure, compared to that of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and lactate. METHODS This was a two-centre prospective observational cohort, enrolling severe sepsis or septic shock patients admitted to the ICU. Plasma biomarkers were measured during the first 12 h of admission. The association between biomarkers and 28-day mortality was assessed by Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves. Patients were divided into three groups as evaluated by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. The accuracy of the biomarkers for mortality was determined by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analysis. RESULTS A total of 326 patients with severe sepsis (21.7%) or septic shock (79.3%) were enrolled with a 28-day mortality rate of 31.0%. Only MR-proADM and lactate were associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis: hazard ratio 8.5 versus 3.4 (p < 0.001). MR-proADM showed the best AUROC for mortality prediction at 28 days in the analysis over the entire cohort (AUROC [95% CI] 0.79 [0.74-0.84]) (p < 0.001). When patients were stratified by the degree of organ failure, MR-proADM was the only biomarker to predict mortality in all severity groups (SOFA ≤ 6, SOFA = 7-12, and SOFA ≥ 13), AUROC [95% CI] of 0.75 [0.61-0.88], 0.74 [0.66-0.83] and 0.73 [0.59-0.86], respectively (p < 0.05). All patients with MR-proADM concentrations ≤0.88 nmol/L survived up to 28 days. In patients with SOFA ≤ 6, the addition of MR-proADM to the SOFA score increased the ability of SOFA to identify non-survivors, AUROC [95% CI] 0.70 [0.58-0.82] and 0.77 [0.66-0.88], respectively (p < 0.05 for both). CONCLUSIONS The performance of prognostic biomarkers in sepsis is highly influenced by disease severity. MR-proADM accuracy to predict mortality is not affected by the degree of organ failure. Thus, it is a good candidate in the early identification of sepsis patients with moderate disease severity but at risk of mortality.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of sepsis biomarkers to predict stroke-associated infections. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1), mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), presepsin (sCD14), and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), were explored in 125 blood samples collected at different time-points. At baseline, MR-proADM was an independent predictor of infection [>0.94pg/mL, OR=3.63 (1.16-11.33), p=0.026], as well as suPAR at 24h [>2185.8pg/mL, OR=5.81 (1.05-32.26), p=0.044]. Both MR-proADM and suPAR were raised in patients with infections throughout the first week after stroke. These results are especially relevant for MR-proADM given its early elevation, which would allow early preventive interventions.

Abstract
Background The optimal control of blood volume without fluid overload is a main challenge in the daily care of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Accordingly this study focused on the identification of biomarkers to help characterize fluid overload status. Methods Sixty-seven patients were studied from ICU admission to day 7 (D7). Blood and urine samples were taken daily and sodium and water balance strictly calculated resulting in a total cumulative assessment of ∆Na+ and ∆H2O. Furthermore, plasmatic biomarkers (cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, pro-endothelin, copeptine, atrial natriuretic peptide, erythropoietin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM)) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores were measured at D2, D5 and D7. Blood volumes were measured with 51Cr fixed on red blood cells at D2 and D7. Results The ∆Na+ or ∆H2O were increased in all patients but never related to blood volumes at D2 nor D7. Total blood volumes were at normal values with constantly low red blood cell volumes and normal or decreased plasmatic volume. Weight, plasmatic proteins, and hemoglobin were weakly related to ∆Na+ or ∆H2O. Amongst all tested biomarkers, only MR-proADM was related to sodium and fluid overload. This biomarker was also a predictor of SOFA scores. Conclusions Plasmatic concentration in MR-proADM seems to be a good surrogate for evaluation of ∆Na+ or ∆H2O and predicts sodium and extracellular fluid overload.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The exact mechanism of premature atherosclerosis in diabetes is still unclear. Inappropriate activation of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system may be an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether renin and aldosterone are associated with vasoactive peptides midregional-pro atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) and midregional-pro adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), or with intima media thickness (IMT) as a marker for early atherosclerotic alterations in the general community and in subjects with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In 1261 participants in the KORA F4 study, the associations of renin, aldosterone and aldosterone to renin ratio with MR-proANP, MR-proADM and IMT were assessed using linear regression models stratified for the presence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. RESULTS After adjustment for confounding factors, an inverse association of MR-proANP with renin (p = 0.002) and aldosterone (p = 0.021) and a direct association of MR-proADM with renin (p < 0.001) and aldosterone (p = 0.019) were seen in nondiabetic individuals. In diabetic subjects, there was no significant correlation of MR-proANP or MR-proADM with renin or aldosterone. Renin and aldosterone were not directly associated with IMT in non-diabetic subjects and the total cohort, whereas aldosterone was associated with IMT in diabetic participants (p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS This study shows associations between renin, aldosterone and MR-proANP/MR-proADM plasma levels that are altered in type 2 diabetes. Plasma renin and aldosterone are not independent biomarkers for early atherosclerotic damages of the carotid arteries in the general community.

Abstract
Dyspnea is a common chief complaint in the emergency department, with over 4 million visits annually in the US. Establishing the correct diagnosis can be challenging, because the subjective sensation of dyspnea can result from a wide array of underlying pathology, including pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, psychiatric, toxic, and metabolic disorders. Further, the presence of dyspnea is linked with increased mortality in a variety of conditions, and misdiagnosis of the cause of dyspnea leads to poor patient-level outcomes. In combination with the history and physical, efficient, and focused use of laboratory studies, the various cardiopulmonary biomarkers can be useful in establishing the correct diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions in a timely manner. Use and interpretation of such tests must be guided by the clinical context, as well as an understanding of the current evidence supporting their use. This review discusses current standards and research regarding the use of established and emerging cardiopulmonary laboratory markers in the evaluation of acute dyspnea, focusing on recent evidence assessing the diagnostic and prognostic utility of various tests. These markers include brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal prohormone (NT-proBNP), mid-regional peptides proatrial NP and proadrenomedullin, cardiac troponins, D-dimer, soluble ST2, and galectin 3, and included is a discussion on the use of arterial and venous blood gases.

Abstract
Intervention with selenium and coenzyme Q10 have recently been found to reduce mortality and increase cardiac function. The mechanisms behind these effects are unclear. As selenium and coenzyme Q10 is involved in the anti-oxidative defence, the present study aimed to evaluate effects of selenium and coenzyme Q10 on copeptin and adrenomedullin as oxidative stress biomarkers. Therefore 437 elderly individuals were included and given intervention for 4 years. Clinical examination and blood samples were undertaken at start and after 18 and 48 months. Evaluations of copeptin and MR-proADM changes were performed using repeated measures of variance. Cardiovascular mortality was evaluated using a 10-year-period of follow-up, and presented in Kaplan-Meier plots. A significant increase in copeptin level could be seen in the placebo group during the intervention period (from 9.4 pmol/L to 15.3 pmol/L), compared to the active treatment group. The difference between the groups was confirmed in the repeated measurement of variance analyses (P = 0.031) with less copeptin increase in the active treatment group. Furthermore, active treatment appeared to protect against cardiovascular death both in those with high and with low copeptin levels at inclusion. Less increase of MR-proADM could also be seen during the intervention in the active treatment group compared to controls (P = 0.026). Both in those having an MR-proADM level above or below median level, significantly less cardiovascular mortality could be seen in the active treatment group (P = 0.0001, and P = 0.04 respectively). In conclusion supplementation with selenium and coenzyme Q10 during four years resulted in less concentration of both copeptin and MR-proADM. A cardioprotective effect of the supplementation was registered, irrespective of the initial levels of these biomarkers, and this protection was recognized also after 10 years of observation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, adrenomedullin (ADM) was defined as a new member of the adipokine family. ADM secreted by adipocytes, through its vasodilator and antioxidant actions, might be protective against metabolic syndrome-associated cardiovascular complications. The aim of the study was to assess plasma mid-regional (MR)-proADM levels in obese adolescents compared to normal-weight subjects and its relation with BMI, body composition and metabolic indices. METHODS Plasma MR-proADM was measured in 32 healthy adolescents [BMI z-score (mean ± SEM) = 0.6 ± 0.09 and 0.8 ± 0.07 in females and males, respectively] and in 51 age-matched obese adolescents [BMI z-score (mean ± SEM) = 2.8 ± 0.12 and 2.9 ± 0.08 in female and males, respectively] by a time-resolved amplified cryptate emission technology assay. RESULTS Plasma MR-proADM levels resulted significantly higher in obese than in normal-weight adolescents (MR-proADM: 0.33 ± 0.1 vs 0.40 ± 0.1 nmol/L, p < 0.0001). Using univariate analysis, we observed that MR-proADM correlated significantly with BMI z-score (p < 0.0001), fat mass (p < 0.0001), circulating insulin (p < 0.004), HOMA-IR (p < 0.005), total cholesterol (p < 0.03) and LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.05). Including MR-proADM as response variable and its significant correlates into a multiple regression analysis, we observed that fat mass (p = 0.014) and BMI z-score (p = 0.036) were independent determinants of circulating MR-proADM. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows for the first time that obese adolescents have higher circulating levels of MR-proADM compared with normal-weight, appropriate controls suggesting its important involvement in obese patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac cachexia (CC) is associated with changes in body composition. Lipolysis and increased energy expenditure caused by A- and B natriuretic peptides (NPs) have been suggested to play a role in CC. We tested the hypothesis that neurohormones and adipokines are associated with body composition in CC and that a progressive loss of fat free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) takes place. METHODS Body composition with regard to FFM, FM, and body fat distribution was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 19 non-diabetic patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and CC and 38 controls (non-cachectic CHF and individuals with prior myocardial infarction-both n = 19) who were followed for 12 months. Biomarkers of neurohormonal stimulation, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction were measured. RESULTS N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), midregional proANP (MR-proANP), and total adiponectin were elevated in CHF (p<0.001) and correlated inversely to BMI and FM. An inverse correlation was observed between pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and FFM. During follow up body weight was unaltered in all groups even though FM increased by 1.35 kg (p<0.05) and FFM decreased by 0.5 kg (p<0.05) in CC patients. The latter correlated inversely to baseline NT-proBNP, MR-proANP, and MR-proADM (p<0.05). No correlation to changes in FM was found. CONCLUSIONS FM was associated with plasma NPs and total adiponectin at baseline; whereas changes in FM and FFM did not correlate to changes in NPs or adiponectin during follow up. Prospectively, FFM decreased but FM increased, despite stable body weight in CC.

Abstract
Several sports have been associated with a postexercise increase of cardiac, liver, and skeletal muscle biomarkers of injury. Exhaustive or acute physical exercise causes an increased generation of reactive oxygen species, resulting in cellular injury. Thus, exercise and training may trigger pathophysiological changes in serum concentrations of a variety of biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the variation of novel biomarkers of stress and cardiovascular disease such as copeptin, midregional part of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and placental growth factor along with uric acid before and after acute high-intensity exercise and allopurinol administration. We also assessed whether allopurinol administration may affect the circulating levels of these biomarkers by inhibition of XO activity. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which 12 professional football players were divided into 2 experimental groups. An oral dose of 300 mg of allopurinol was administered to one group of six participants 4 hours before a match of the Spanish Football League, whereas the other 6 participants received placebo (cellulose). Venous blood samples were obtained before the match (baseline) and twelve hours afterwards (post-match). Serum MR-proADM levels increased significantly in the placebo group, whereas serum GDF15 levels increased significantly in both the placebo and allopurinol group after the match. No differences in the other parameters tested were found after the match in any experimental group. The trend toward postexercise increase of serum MR-proADM and GDF15 levels shows that the metabolism of these proteins is clearly imbalanced after exercise, which thereby represents a potential source of biological variability in their clinical assessment.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) biomarkers have dramatically impacted the way HF patients are evaluated and managed. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) are the gold standard biomarkers in determining the diagnosis and prognosis of HF, and studies on natriuretic peptide-guided HF management look promising. An array of additional biomarkers has emerged, each reflecting different pathophysiological processes in the development and progression of HF: myocardial insult, inflammation and remodeling. Novel biomarkers, such as mid-regional pro atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), mid-regional pro adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), highly sensitive troponins, soluble ST2 (sST2), growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 and Galectin-3, show potential in determining prognosis beyond the established natriuretic peptides, but their role in the clinical care of the patient is still partially defined and more studies are needed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Heart failure pathogenesis and emerging diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
