ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate whether copeptin, MR-proADM and MR-proANP, alone or integrated with the SOFA, MuLBSTA and SAPS II scores, are capable of early recognition of COVID-19 ICU patients at increased risk of adverse outcomes.Methods:
For this predefined secondary analysis of a larger cohort previously described, all consecutive COVID-19 adult patients admitted between March and December 2020 to the ICU of a referral, university hospital in Northern Italy were screened, and clinical severity scores were calculated upon admission. A blood sample for copeptin, MR-proADM and MR-proANP was collected within 48 h (T1), on day 3 (T3) and 7 (T7). Outcomes considered were ICU and in-hospital mortality, bacterial superinfection, recourse to renal replacement therapy (RRT) or veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and pronation.Results:
Sixty-eight patients were enrolled, and in-hospital mortality was 69.1%. ICU mortality was predicted by MR-proANP measured at T1 (HR 1.005, 95% CI 1.001-1.010, p = 0.049), although significance was lost if the analysis was adjusted for procalcitonin and steroid treatment (p = 0.056). Non-survivors showed higher MR-proADM levels than survivors at all time points, and an increase in the ratio between values at baseline and at T7 > 4.9% resulted in a more than four-fold greater risk of in-hospital mortality (HR 4.417, p < 0.001). Finally, when considering patients with any reduction in glomerular filtration, an early copeptin level > 23.4 pmol/L correlated with a more than five-fold higher risk of requiring RRT during hospitalization (HR 5.305, p = 0.044).Conclusion:
Timely evaluation of MR-proADM, MR-proANP and copeptin, as well as changes in the former over time, might predict mortality and other adverse outcomes in ICU patients suffering from severe COVID-19.
