Plasma levels of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin in sepsis are associated with risk of death.

Background: Identifying Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients with sepsis and predicting the risk of death are unmet clinical needs.

Methods: Prospective observational single-center study of 120 consecutive ICU patients with suspected severe sepsis at Jerez Hospital. Epidemiological, clinical, laboratory data and MR-proADM, Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were recorded at ICU admission and follow-up.
