Prognostic Value of Mid-Region Proadrenomedullin and In Vitro Interferon Gamma Production for In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia and Respiratory Failure: An Observational Prospective Study

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 immu...

Sumario: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.
