Backgrounds: Copeptin has been studied as an excellent predictor of outcome in a variety of diseases, its value is even superior to that of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in heart failure, but little is known about its characteristics in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)/acute lung injury (ALI). We sought to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of copeptin together with N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) in patients with ARDS/ALI or cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE).
Methods: Measurement of copeptin and NT-proBNP levels in plasma from 121 consecutive patients with either ARDS/ALI or CPE enrolled in a prospective single center study.
Results: In a derivation cohort of 87 patients with ARDS/ALI and 34 patients with CPE, a copeptin threshold of >40.11 pmol/L provided a specificity of 88.2% and a sensitivity of 60.9% for the diagnosis of ARDS/ALI, a NT-proBNP cut point of <2813 pg/ml had a specificity of 79.4% and sensitivity of 65.5% for it. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that copeptin was the strongest predictor for mortality in patients with ARDS/ALI [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.72, P < 0.001] and CPE (HR = 3.52, P = 0.019), the association between increasing copeptin and death was statistically significant in patients with ARDS/ALI (HR = 2.64, P = 0.035) and patients with CPE (HR = 1.62, P = 0.029).
Conclusion: Copeptin of >40.11 pmol/L had a high specificity for the diagnosis of ARDS/ALI in patients presenting with ARDS/ALI or CPE. Compared to NT-proBNP, copeptin was a stronger prognostic marker for short-term mortality.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI) are life-threatening diseases. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a key role in lung damage. Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGPPS) is associated with the development of inflammatory diseases.

Neutrophils are important inflammatory effector cells that protect against foreign invasion but also cause self-harm. Numerous neutrophils infiltrate the lungs in acute respiratory distress syndrome/acute lung injury (ARDS/ALI) patients. However, the exact impact of neutrophil infiltration on ARDS's onset and progression remains unclear.

Introduction: Acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury (ARDS/ALI) still lack a recognized diagnostic test and pharmacologic treatments that target the underlying pathology.
Methods: To explore the sensitive non-invasive biomarkers associated with pathological changes in the lung of direct ARDS/ALI, we performed an integrative proteomic analysis of lung and blood samples from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS mice and COVID-19-related ARDS patients. The common differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified based on combined proteomic analysis of serum and lung samples in direct ARDS mice model.

Previous studies have found several biomarkers for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but the accuracy of most biomarkers is still in doubt due to the occurrence of other comorbidities. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to explore ideal ARDS biomarkers which can reflect pathophysiology features precisely and better identify at-risk patients and predict mortality. Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, OVID, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies assessing the reliability of pulmonary-originated epithelial proteins in ARDS.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition due to acute lung injury (ALI), characterized by rapid-onset respiratory failure, leading to the clinical manifestations of poor lung compliance, severe hypoxemia, and dyspnea. ARDS/ALI has many causes, most commonly related to infections (sepsis, pneumonia), traumas, and multiple transfusions. The objective of this study is to assess the performance of postmortem anatomopathological examination in identifying etiological agents associated with ARDS or ALI in deceased patients from the State of São Paulo from 2017 to 2018.
