Sepsis biomarkers reprofiling to predict stroke-associated infections
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), wer...

Summary: | 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.

•Sepsis biomarkers could be useful in the management of stroke-associated infections.•We screened 4 sepsis biomarkers at three different time-points in stroke patients.•MR-proADM and sUPAR were independently associated with post-stroke infections.•MR-proADM is an early surrogate marker of stroke-associated infections. |
